Hi Didier,
I tried your suggestion, but it unfortunately did not work. The Braille
display remained stuck on "screen not in text mode"
This is a puzzle. The funnything is that Slint sees the Braille display
and it launches Brltty.
I will try to tweek with it a little and see if I can guess what the
problem is!
Cheers,
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,
I don't have a direct answer but a workaround could be, after having
turned on
the braille display, to type "orca -r" to restart it instead of
rebooting.
Please let us know how that goes.
Cheers,
Didier

Hi Friends,
I do not know how many of you use a braille display with linux, but I
like braille. I am using my VarioUltra 40 as my braille display with
my linux. I hope if there are braille users here can help me solve
this puzzle.
I noticed that if I boot up my Slint with the braille display turned
on and connected it works beautifully well with my screen reader.
However, If I boot my machine with the braille display is turned off
or disconnected, when I connect it or turn it on, I see the brltty
6.4 comes up on the display, but after that I can only read on the
display screen not in text mode. Even if I kill orca with the killall
command and restart orca, the Braille display only shows screen not
in text mode. If I want to use braille I am left with no option but
to reboot the machine with the braille display is turned on and
connected to my laptop.
Is there a way of being able to activate braille even if I forget to
turn the display on and connect it to my laptop after the bootup?
Cheers,
Ibrahim
