Thanks, John. It's already installed, so I'll look at the man page and see how it works.

Greetings.

I'm borrowing a Focus 40.  I called Freedom Scientific with a couple of
questions.  One of whether this Braille display can work with Linux. The guy
said not unless there's a Linux driver, and he doesn't know of one.  Does
anybody on this list know of one or more such drivers, and whether any that
might exist works well enough to be worth trying?

Also, Focus 40 aside, what other Braille displays presently work with Linux?
I doubt we can afford much at this point, but it would be good to know in
case I do get a decent job or get other help.  (I know of the gismo based on
the Rasbury pie, but as far as I know it's not yet on the market.)

Thanks.
