Re: screen not in text mode on a braille display, how can I put it back in text mode?

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
