[BRLTTY] Braillex EL 66S problem

Hi Dave,

Oops, sorry. I forgot to mention I'm using brltty 3.10 on a fedora 11
system.

I tried to launch it from an SSH terminal as follows:

brltty -e -l debug -n

>From what is displayed by brltty, I can notice that the display is
correctly detected and identified as a Braillex EL 66S by the Papenmeier
driver. But when I move the EAB, left, right or whatever, brltty only
displays:

brltty: command: 000000

on the terminal.

Therefore, now, I know that something happens when I move the EAB but I
don't know what happens yet.

Many thanks for your help. Have a nice day. ChD

That's good to know.

Which release of brltty are you using?
