I guess you are running your test application from ssh? I see that in the boot version, there is a first connection before the connection from your program. I guess it's xbrlapi (or perhaps orca) running on the GUI, which thus eats all the keypresses from the braille device. If you kill brltty, xbrlapi dies, and doesn't respawn, and thus doesn't eat keypresses any more. I.e. it's as if you were trying to get keypresses from the keyboard while the X server is running, that's deemed to get issues. So yes, shutting down the GUI makes sense, that will stop eating the input presses. Samuel _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
