Hello Henrik, the problems I reported a couple weeks ago still exist. 1. When I boot feisty with my USB braille display connected brltty still attempts to start twice initially giving an error which I have to press any key on the display to dismiss. 2. Orca is still not able to connect to brlapi and display braille. As both of these issues are already documented in bugs filed against feisty I won't bother with more details here but I just wanted to let you know that at least in my environments braille is still not in a particularly useful state. Mike
