Ah, ok. I can understand this much better now :) > VmWare server also supports USB devices and if my WIndows reader is not > using it, the LINux virtual machine can see my Braille display (Tieman > Voyager). What I'd like to do would be to get brlTTY working Doesn't this already work? I mean, if you cut down your windows reader, BrlTTY should be able to grab the device, and give you a reading of the console, and once orca/gnopernicus run, get their reading of the gnome session. > I've already got Gnopernicus speaking but it says it cannot find the > braillle display. As gnopernicus probably said, the checklist is - /etc/brlapi.key exists and is not empty. - you have read right on /etc/brlapi.key - brltty is running with API enabled. Another possibility would be to run brltty natively inside windows, and have gnopernicus connect to it through network. A bit tricky, but not that much (you just need to set the BRLAPI_HOSTNAME environment variable to host:0 where you replace "host" by the name of your windows machine, or its IP).
