Howdy, To get it working with Orca, first login as root, and chgrp users /etc/brlapi.key Then, add xbrlapi -q to your startup applications. Grade 2 won't work with it in Orca as far as I know. When I tried it, it went all weird, random nonsense dots in random cells. Supposedly that can be fixed by compiling liblouis yourself, but I never really checked into that.

hi all As the subject line says, I've been having minor problems getting brltty to work with an older braille sense a friend of mine, billy wolf, sent to me to improve sonar's braille support. The braille sense uses USB to interact with the computer, and appears to use a printer style cable. Square end goes into the braille sense, other end goes into the computer. I can plug it in, go into the terminal for screen reader mode and brltty will work with it in the text console, but not when I switch to the gui. When I do that, brltty displays "screen not in text mode" in grade 1 and the braille display doesn't work. I've been told I need to have the at-spi2 screen driver enabled, which I've just done. I've checked that braille is enabled in orca and the contraction table is set to en-ueb-g2 so that grade 2 braille works. However, this doesn't seem to have solved it. I've verified that brlapi.key is world readable. Is there anything else I should try? I've made sure that brltty autodetects the display, and no specific driver is selected. The last issue to report is that grade 2 doesn't seem to work in the text console. I'm sure this is just a matter of selecting the correct braille table, can this be set in the brltty.conf file? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to actually trying to use brltty as opposed to just configuring it for others. That's why I asked Billy to send me the display so I could have some first hand experience.
