[BRLTTY] BrailleSense QWERTY

[quoted lines by Vincent LE GOFF on 2015/12/13 at 20:27 -0800]

>I have a BrailleSense U2 QWERTY.  

Other people who've had the same device - but with a braille keyboard - haven't 
commented on the four scroll keys not working. Do you know if only the qwerty 
one has those four keys?

>Perhaps that's why it's interpreted as a Braille Edge. 

No, it's being correctly seen as a Braille Sense. At first I thought that the 
keys might actually be working. That's why I asked if it might be presenting 
itself as a Braille Edge.

>I do have the /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file, but I have trouble copying 
>it.  When I use scp to do so (that's the way, don't know why I can't copy 
>information from my VM), I get an empty file, although the original file 
>doesn't seem to be empty.

It's a special file so maybe it's having odd characteristics. Try copying it to 
a regular file first. If that doesn't work, try editing it, and then, from the 
editor, save it to a regular file.

>A braille-parameter sounds fine to me.  If it's just something to update in 
>the 'brltty.conf', that's simple.  

Yes, it'd be that simple.

>Are these navigation keys used (under different codes) by the other 
>BrailleSense versions though?

No, but their physical codes are mapped differently on a Braille Edge. Our 
driver can handle that, though.

>I will send you the more complete log tomorrow if it's okay, with most of the keys I can find.  I'll label them precisely.

That's fine. Thanks.
