Restarting brltty is never nice to do from a user persepctive, so my earlier suggestion to use a driver-specific parameter may be a bad idea.
Can the device detect which hand the user is using? For xample, is there a natural place where he might rest his thumb, and, if so, could a sensor be placed there? If you go the route of having the device detect which hand the user is using, or even if you go the route of a switch, there's probably no need for the driver to know as the device just needs to send the correct sensor number. Some devices support being rotated 180 degrees. Those devices offer this capability within their internal menus, and just send reversed data to the driver when in that mode. If your preference is for all of the logic to be within the driver, which would indeed simplify the firmware, we could add a brltty command which could be bound to keys on the device so that the user could still, from the device, request the chagne. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
