Yes. Brltty looks at what's currently on the screen. Whatever is on the screen when brltty gains access to the braille device will be immediately visible on the braille device. If the user uses shift + page up/down to scroll the screen, that'll work, too. >Then I could start brltty through /etc/inittab, and in rc.S1, in case brltty >is found in the command line, do a "sleep 5" just after the udev daemon has >been started, to make sure the terminal displays all following output. Yes, that should work, except that udev itself may need a bit of asynchronous startup time. Perhaps the "udevadm settle" command would be useful for this situation. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
