[BRLTTY] Version and protocol mismatch

[Dave Mielke]

Brltty itself doesn't read the screen in graphics mode. A program called Orca does that, though, and uses brlapi to tell brltty what to present on the braille device. You can use brltty on its own in a text console, though, if you'd like to keep things simple at the outset.

I was using the gnome gui, I just tested it on tty1 and I only had input 
from the 8 dot key's.
there was no output on the cells them selfs.
this all may or may not have something to do with the device in it self 
as it is some what aged. ( I am borrowing it from a friend so I can 
learn braille in a dynamic way. )

I am using the latest version ( 4.5 ) from source.
so if I am understanding this correct, if I want to use brltty from my 
graphical environment, say sublime text, I will need to write a python 
script to interface with the api?

thanks ahead for any help,
Kuro Maii

there is always another that fits the word "real" better when you wake up.
sometimes,
this might not be what you hoped to wake up to.
but nonetheless,
it is more "real".
