Hi Jason,
I installed chkconfig.
It reports brltty on
But keep in mind that I already added
brl::sysinit:/bin/brlty
in inittab.
Didn't do the trick either.
Brltty is not started until I log in and start it manually from the command
prompt.
Best regards
Jeronimo

Hello,
I installed from the netinst iso under VMWare Fusion. The installation
didn’t work without sighted assistance. Brltty was just saying: “Screen
not in text mode.”
Apart from this the install went well. However when I start the virtual
machine the braille display is not working. It is connected to the virtual
machine via the host os i.e vmware fusion device management.
When I log in i.e
root
password
and then type
brltty
It is working alright.
Are you saying that BRLTTY isn't started automatically when the Debian
system
is booted, i.e., before you get to the "login" prompt?
If so, run
chkconfig brltty
and if it reports
brltty off
then that's your problem and you should enable it in your init scripts with
chkconfig brltty on
after which it should be started automatically when you boot the Debian
system.
If it's already enabled properly but still not starting, then you'll have to
look at log messages in /var/log/messages to find out why.
