Ok,; here are the results of my latest attempt on the mac with the ubuntu live cd.
First of all, if you leave the cd alone it will indeed boot all the way so you do have to catch it; the bootup prompt appears to be pretty soon after the spin-up. However, using "live nofb" does not appear to make a difference. However, brltty does appear to load. I see the 3.7.2 version before the question marks come onto the display. I can go into the config menu and change settings. If I go to tty7 and do alt+f2 and type orca, tab, check the box and hit enter, I hear sounds from the cdrom drive and the braille display changes to the "screen not in text mode" message. also when I shut down the machine I get "brltty terminated". so brltty is loading but something isn't quite right here. btw remember that you have to use "sudo" to get brltty to run on ubuntu. i'll have to try to research the sound some more; if I could get brltty to work I could probably troubleshoot the sound and if I could get sound to work I might be able to troubleshoot brltty!!! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also". _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
