Hi,
my problem seems to be solved:
removing the three # in /etc/init.d/brltty
and I had already copied brltty.conf.dpkg.dist over brltty.conf and begun
again the config.
Now it works here with the right table.
Thanks a lot.
PS: still not understand why dpkg -l |grep brltty shows a brltty package in
iF so it is installed but F what's that ?

Reply-To: Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
in gutsy:
When i tried to upgrade to brltty 3.9, brltty 3.7.2 didnt
uninstall correctly, i had to undo the modifications to
/etc/init.d/brltty before the package would uninstall. After this brltty
3.9 installed without any problems.
Then a while later i decided to attempt to upgrade to hardy, modifying
/etc/apt/sources.list
and doing an upgrade all worked fine, except that orca didnt ever seem
to talk to the braille display.
Brltty is running, works in terminal mode, the python brlapi bindings
where installed, but still no braille and orca.
I did a update/upgrade cycle every few days, but nothing happend in this
regard.
With all the debate about speech output options, and the various hacks
that needs doing, its currently on a todo-list for a reinstall of good
old gutsy.
So our experiences seem to have coincided.
rest of reply in-body:

Hi,
I've upgraded a laptop from Gutsy to Hardy using this method:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
to first full upgrade Gutsy. Then:
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
For brltty it proposed me to keep the current one, idem for the brltty.conf,
that's the standard action; I ignore what to do so I simply pressed ENTER.
The current brltty seems to be 3.9, so in fact it has upgraded it anyway.
Why answering then things if it upgrades anyway?
Jon: its because it recognized that there is a difference between your
brltty.conf and the one that comes with the package, so it asked if you
wanted to keep your own one, which is configured with your preferences.
But now there is no any brltty when booting;
and whe doing ps ax |grep -i brl ENTER for checking if it is started,
I can't see any process started automatically.
jon: what happens when you simply type brltty in a terminal? any output?
And I still have the same brltty.conf as before with my de (german) table.
Note: due to the bug in the Gutsy, at that moment I had recommented some
raws to prevent some actions but I don't remember in which file it was and
if that have caused tje problem now?
jon: it did for me, but cant say for sure, in your case.
Here are my conf files in attach.
