[BRLTTY] brltty - I'm confused!

[David Reynolds]

Lee,

I was just about ploughing through doing that, but doing a ps -ef, and
killing off the instance of brltty, i.e.
Kill -9 5545
Etc. I didn't know about the killall command, very useful!
Thanks,

David.

This is just a wild guess and I should really keep my mouth shut, but
you could try:

killall brltty
brltty -bfs -dserial:ttyUSB6

The -b switch tells brltty what kind of braille device you're using. I
jumped to the conclusion you're using a PAC Mate display. If it's
Papenmeier then -bpm I think.

The -d switch tells it what port to use. If ttyUSB6 doesn't work you
could try fishing, starting with ttyUSB0. Killing all brltty
instances before each test certainly won't hurt.

This advice is likely worth every penny you paid for it... :-)
