Hello, after doubting whether Braillex slim line displays were supported by brltty yet (and asking about it on the Orca mailing list), we succeeded in getting it running using brltty 3.8.
We uninstalled brltty 3.7.2 from our Ubuntu Feisty Fawn installation, then pretty much stuck to the instructions given at http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Braille for installing brltty, but also installed python-all-dev, libbrlapi1-dev, and python-orca-brlapi-dbg packages. We also used "brltty -t de" rather than "/bin/brltty -bauto -d/dev/ttyUSB0" to run brltty. The latter only produces what seems to be uncontrolled output, rapidly switching between the standard message (Braillex EL 2D-80s Rev 124) and a mess of special characters (|, @,...). Unfortunately we still need to restart brltty every time after startup and with both braille displays (The other one is a HandyTech Braille Star 40) using: sudo killall brltty sudo brltty -t de Why is that? One more thing: Does brltty support the use of the vertical display? Thank you very much for your help.
