I am able to verify that devuan works with my 40-cell braille display
from Freedom Scientific.
What is the login id & password? I was able to guess it, I think. I used
devuan/devuan. But then I couldn't sudo. So then I couldn't test
speakup. Is there some other login that has sudo rights?
I was also able to validate that sound is working. This is on a Dell
720. I rand espeak and it worked.
One suggestion ... It would be helpful if the syslinux splash screen is
brighter. If the syslinux splash screen is really bright, a partially
sighted person can tell when the poot prompt is displayed. A totally
blind person can use a light probe or a smart phone app.

Hi there,
I am the guy working on the minimal Devuan live images, and as you
might remember I am interested in making those live ISOs usable by
visually impaired users, although my experience in this field is
*very* *limited*. You can find the current images (still in
development) at the following URL:
http://devuan.kalos.mine.nu
These images ship with espeak/espeakup, brltty, and yasr by default. I
have exchanged a few emails with Greg Nowak on this matter, and he
suggested me to join this mailing-list, to speed-up the process of
getting feedback and asking you for useful features.
Following the comments forwarded by some of you, I am currently
working on providing an accessible run-level on those live-images,
which will include:
1) audible feedback during the boot;
2) automatic login for root and regular user, to speedup
configuration;
3) hopefully, configuration of the sound card to use with
espeak/espeakup.
If you don't mind, I will post updates on my progress here, every now
and then, and I would be grateful to you for any comment, suggestion,
critic that you would be so kind to provide.
Thanks in advance for any help you will be able to provide.
