x2:~/src/a11y/brltty% svn up
At revision 3469.
x2:~/src/a11y/brltty% patch -p0 <~/tmp/patch2
patching file Programs/scr_help.c
patching file Programs/scr_base.c

patching file ScreenDrivers/Linux/screen.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

Does not look like this is really against r3469.  It seems to conflict
with some type width changes that have been applied previously.
And yes, I made sure my svn checkout is clean (svn revert -R .).
Can you please rediff against the real HEAD and resend?

Thanks, keen on trying this out!
