Hi everyone, I am interested in the upcoming Ubuntu release and I have got some questions about it.
Will the brltty boot parameter not be evaluated anymore? I already noticed about the Ubuntu version 8.04 that the indication is not being evaluated. BrlTTY is not started although I entered the brltty parameter at the boot prompt. If I start BrlTTy manually it does not work on the console. If I switch to a console by pressing Strg+Alt+F1, nothing is being shown on the Braille display. Do these problems continue in Intrepid? Another note about the orca setup: the available options are being read by the voice output. However, one cannot interrupt the voice. This is especially impractical with long lists as one can have already entered his/her choice but still has to wait for the end of the list. If one installs Ubuntu with a Braille display, it should be secured that BrlTTY is being started while booting. Especially for beginners it is unpleasant if they are left without a Braille display right after the installation and are possibly dependent on help from someone who can see. Especially the alternate install CD offers a great support of Braille, but it is a pity if one is able to install the system software independently but then already meets the first obstacles. I would appreciate it if these problems would be fixed in the final version. Thanks in advance for your help.
