[quoted lines by Ian Blackburn on May 3, 2002, at 09:18] >the brltty manual mentions problems with cursor routing with two programs >that is the vi editor and links e-mail No, that's not quite what BRLTTY's manual is saying. It's saying, rather, that BRLTTY handles cursor routing in a special way in order to account for the fact that vi and lynx move the cursor somewhat unpredictably in response to arrow key presses. BRLTTY's cursor routing, because of the special algorithm it uses, actually works quite well with these applications. >Does >this also mean that brltty uses one of the consol? BRLTTY doesn't use its own virtual console. It runs as a background process (daemon) and presents whatever is on the current virtual console. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
