Hi all,

I have a serious problem on one machine with brltty.
brltty version 9 works fine on this machine and my vario 40.
till some months, brltty current, displays anything exept:
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
please, see the following logs.

first i commented out high_rate 1 in braille.h of the TSI driver.
stiil garbage.
tried the baum driver, of course in conjunction with the baum protocol on the display.
as you can see in the log, brltty cannot initialize display.

what to do in this case?

thanks for your suggestions.

Raoul
