If so, no. The serial ports are ttyS<n> (note the uppercase S), starting from ttyS0. Brltty will manage the serial port itself. Getty is for a text login. >_And what do we have to add in case the braille terminal be connected > through an USB slot, instead of a serial line? Nothing. Just ensure either that udev is providing /dev/bus/usb or that /proc/bus/usb is mounted. Having both is fine, but only one is necessary. >_In the aforementioned document, we are suggested to include these lines > on top of /etc/fstab: > # Start the braille display. > brl::sysinit:/bin/brltty > > But instead, can we just start brltty at the end of /etc/rc.S1, as no > interaction with the user occurs during this script's execution? Yes, that'd be fine, with one qualification. If something goes wrong early on then starting brltty as soon as possible gives a braille user the most independence. In other words, if a significant problem occurs before brltty has been started then he's stuck. It's like how early in the boot sequence should your monitor be started. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
