Are we even sure that screen 4.0.3 qualifies to be used with brltty. I used 4.0.1 for years and it was my understanding that nothing workable that was later was available until 4.2.1 but perhaps I missed hearing about 4.0.3 working.

Also Raul, please clarify: did you patch this copy of screen in source before you compiled it? It would have needed to be patched with the path to your brltty source and is in Patches. You've never specifically mentioned whether you did this and how you did it but I just assumed if it was working for you that you had done the patching before compiling. Did you patch with the 4.0.1 patch or the 4.2.1 or did you create a patch of your own?

my rock and my Redeemer.

Hi,

This night I was fighting against a permission denied.
I discovered the culprit:

In preferences =>  sharing  I checked  remote management.
And this one is incompatible with screen sharing .
Good to know.
Unchecking  remote management and checking screen sharing
Solved my  shmget error: permission denied.

Please John,  try  to check screen sharing.
I am not sure  if it is your problem, but it must be verified.

2.  I modified the permissions in my scompiled screen.
I attach it, please see if  you have the same results?

Best regards.
