What particular features are you thinking about? > Does anyone have experience with that display with Linux? I have recently validated that it works with BRLTTY. There were no obvious problems. However, I have to admit that I did not test it in combination with Orca. While it should work with Orca in principle, I can not say if all key bindings are convenient for Orca users. > If so, are there any issues to be aware of when it comes to using the > navigational features and braille keyboard? It might be necessary to use xbrlapi to get braille keyboard input to work with X11. But this is the same for every braille display which is supported by BRLTTY and which has a braille keyboard. > What about for computer/math/science-related braille forms?

Your question is more generic about BRLTTY and Orca on Linux. You mention that you are already using Linux? Do you have a specific question you are unsure about? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
