[PT] I loaded Ubuntu 8.1 into a VMWare virtual machine to test drive Ubuntu before I commit putting it on my Windows PC. It's a bit sluggish, but it seems to work. [PT] Anyway, I got Orca to work fine (out of a USB sound card even!), but can't get the braille to work.
I have tried both a Powerbraille 40 connected via USB to serial adapter (I could imagine this wouldn't work since Ubuntu probably doesn't have the drivers for the Belcan USB to serial adapter I'm using), and I also tried a Pacmate display connected via USB. Neither display is automatically seen when I restart Orca after selecting to use braille. I also tried running the BrlTTY command from the run menu with no success. Is there a particular magic to getting a braille display to work with Ubuntu? Also, I noticed that the Ubuntu 9.04 release is out. Is the access software and usability any better with this later version?
