[BRLTTY] my brltty.conf and conf.orig...

[Sérgio Neves]

Hi,
Is your braille display connected by usb?
I had this problem one or two months ago with a focus braille display 
(connected by usb), and I think when ubuntu starts, it renames brltty.conf 
to brltty.conf.orig and replaces the brltty.conf you made with a version 
that is copied from a place I don't know.
To solve this problem, I edited the /etc/init.d/brltty and I commented the 
lines that say to rename brltty.conf to brltty.conf.orig and copy the 
brltty.conf form a place I don't know to /etc.
After this step, it may happen that brltty no longer starts up 
automatically.
To solve this, I edited the file that controls the usb startup of brltty and 
I think it's on /udev/rules.. And when it appears one path for brltty 
executable, I replace this path with /bin/brltty.
Maybe you don't need to do this second step, depending on whether brltty 
starts up automatically or not.
Sorry for not being much rigorous, but I don't remember very well this 
second step because I didn't discover it alone and I don't have yet the 
knowledge enough to understand the startup process.
After that, you can change brltty.conf and it will never be overwritten when 
you restart ubuntu.

I hope this helps.
Best regards

I understand lesser and lesser:
I did a cp of my orig brltty.conf to brltty.conf.orig
and now there are only 3 lines in it, while brltty.conf~ (the bak version)
still contains the content of the orig brltty.conf;
and brltty.conf supposed to be the one and only good one, doesn't contain
the 3 lines I need but only 2.
