Hi Jois, After writing my reply I reread your message and find I did not pay attention when I read it the first time. Very sorry. Hopefully the following is not too far off to be meaningful: First, the mysterious DCs: This looks like garbage from the escape sequences brltty tries to use to move the cursor. Either Centericq doesn't recognize these or else you've written a long line that has been folded. Brltty is trying to move the cursor vertically on what Linux regards as a horizontal line. If this is the case, you'll have to either format your line so it's not folded or use the routing button at the left or right end of the line and the PC arrows to get to the previous or next line respectively. In other words, to move backwards use the routing button at the left end of the current line, then the left arrow to get to the right end of the previous line and so on. I hope that makes sense... I don't know anything about Centericq and not much about elinks, but if either is like lynx it requires that we use only up and down arrows on the PC keyboard to move the cursor whether vertically or horizontally. This means that if we use the cursor routing buttons on the Braille display they will work only if the cursor movement happens to be straight up or down; any attempt to move across the line results in some sort of nasty behavior. Brltty has a command called CSRJMP_VERT (at least if my notes are accurate) that allows the cursor routing buttons to use only vertical movement commands to reach the line the display is on. The cursor ends up on the first link on that line and you must use the down arrow to move right (!) across that line to the link you want. Assuming this command is not already assigned to a key combination on your display, you can download the tarball from mielke.cc/brltty, find a key or combination you never use, and modify the source to invoke that command; then recompile. As for the truncated lines, my experience is that brltty seems very good at reading the entire screen, at least up to a size of 50 lines by 132 columns which is the biggest I've tried. There's a file called /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/svga.txt that tells how to have Linux scan your video hardware to see what screen dimensions your system supports. Sighted help or an Optacon is needed here as this information comes out before the kernel is decompressed (it's actually a boot loader command) but assuming you have a VGA card you might be able to use the command: vga=12932 Put this command somewhere in the APPEND string that the boot loader passes to the kernel. This doesn't seem to work on Red Hat, but it does on Oralux and by implication Debian. I tested it using a boot floppy but found it necessary to update the floppy's kernel to be the same version as the newest one on my hard disk. Other than that, the Centericq documentation may have some notes on how to scroll the screen horizontally or cause long lines to be folded; I too haven't had any luck with the square brackets (except possibly once in Lynx).
