[BRLTTY] [brltty] braille in ubuntu

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi,

I use Ubuntu 8.04 with a couple different braille displays and they both 
work great, so the problem here is a configuration one.

Since the BrailleNote is a serial device (don't mess with USB-serial until 
you have to) you'll need to tell brltty what the device is and what the port 
is. The command will probably be something like:

sudo brltty -b bn -d serial:ttyS0

Alternatively, and once you get the thing working, you can modify 
/etc/brltty.conf so you don't need the command line switches anymore.

Make changes as appropriate. I don't have a BrailleNote so am guessing about 
the "bn", and if you're not on the first serial port of course you'll have 
to change the number.

Good luck,
