[quoted lines by Hermann on 2008/03/27 at 10:17 +0100] >Try the following: >brltty -d ttyUSB0
Yes, and the fully qualified way would be (without the quotes) "serial:ttyUSB0". When a USB->Serial adapter is being used, the Linux kernel creates the serial device ttyUSB0. Then brltty needs to be told to use serial support and which serial device to use. >And BTW.: There seems to be a bug in the brltty.conf file: >braille-device usb:nnnnn >does not work. If I've understood the comment well, one has to write: >braille-device usb:ttyS0 >in order to use a USB2Serial adapter on S0. But this doesn't start up the >braille display. No, this is a misunderstanding. Specifying the "usb:" qualifier tells brltty to use USB support, not serial support, whereas the use of a USB->Serial adaptor requires serial support. The "nnnnn" is optional, and, if present, must be the USB serial number of the display. If the USB serial number isn't specified then the first display which matches the selected driver is assumed. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
