Re: Using orca / brltty with Freedom scientific PacMate

I have never used brltty with orca but I've used brltty at the console with a Pac Mate. It may depend on what flavor of linux you have. On a debian system, you need to edit /etc/brltty.conf and uncomment the lines for freedom scientific braille drivers. Open the file and search 'freedom'. The first time, you need to uncomment the line your search lands on. The next time, you need to uncomment the 2 lines just below.


1. Search for 'freedom', change:

#braille-driver fs # FreedomScientific

to

braille-driver fs # FreedomScientific

2. Search again and change:

# FreedomScientific Braille Driver Parameters
#braille-parameters fs:DebugPackets=no # [no,yes]
#braille-parameters fs:StatusCells= # [0,n,-n]

to

# FreedomScientific Braille Driver Parameters
braille-parameters fs:DebugPackets=no # [no,yes]
braille-parameters fs:StatusCells= # [0,n,-n]

Or maybe it would just be easier to make a file like this:

braille-driver  fs      # FreedomScientific
braille-parameters fs:DebugPackets=no # [no,yes]
braille-parameters fs:StatusCells= # [0,n,-n]


Everything else in the file is commented out.

Subject: Using orca / brltty with Freedom scientific PacMate


I tried using the above braille display on Ubuntu 9.04 system with Orca and
brltty.
I have seen no response on the braille display.
does any one knows what options should I pass to brltty when starting it so
it would work with PacMate braille display?
