Hello! We have recently implemented the braille-support spec i Feisty which aims to provide default support for USB braille devices and relatively simple configuration of serial and bluetooth devices.
If you have a USB device is should just come up working on a Live CD or installed Feisty system (provided a screen reader is active to feed it text). If you boot the Live CD with F5+4 you will get a braille configuration script for usb, serial or bluetooth devices (this needs documentation to be useful). The script can be run from a terminal too with 'brltty-setup'. Expect a few changes in this script soon as well. So, if you have a braille device, please help us test! Many of the people who have contributed to this don't have access to braille displays so we need input from others. Please be patient with the process, we a expect a fair number of things to not work at the start. We will make updated scripts available and it would be great if people could test those before we put it on the CD.
