Paul,
That was easy. Thanks. Now, do you know how I get braille grade 2 translation turned on? I'm surprised that Orca didn't get brltty running since there is a checkbox in the Orca settings to use braille. I guess that doesn't do anything unless you edit the BRLTTY file. Oh well. It would be nice if checking that box in Orca would make that work and also if there were a selection to use Grade 1 or 2. Anyway, thanks again. I'm getting used to Orca and Ubuntu slowly but surely! --Pete From: Paul Hunt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 10:49 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Getting Braille to Work Yes the Pacmate displays work with Orca. You need to edit the file /etc/default/brltty And change the no to a yes as is indicated.

I have a Pacmate display (from Freedom Scientific) hooked up to my desktop PC via a USB cable. During the install of Ubuntu, I had choices only for installing with speech or braille (not both). It would have been nice to have both, but I chose speech. The install went well with Orca. After the install, I chose to use braille in the Orca settings. Despite rebooting and logging in, however, I am still not seeing anything on my braille display. Does the Pacmate USB display work with Ubuntu and/or Orca? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
