[BRLTTY] Question: Brltty and Focus Fifth Generation

[Yannick PLASSIARD]

Hi,

if you're using X11 (a graphical user interface like Maté or GNOME), you
have to start the «xbrlapi» program before starting the Orca screen reader.

if you are using the console however, make sure that your braille keyboard
is not locked by pressing dots 1, 3 and the space bar. Note that if X11 is
not running, the brltty-x11 package is not really necessary.

best,
Yannick
