[BRLTTY] Brltty.log from debian unstable on vmware fusion

[Cheryl Homiak]

I didn't remember whether we could attach on this list so my brltty.log is 
below. A while ago when I killed brltty, I got the six cells I mentioned 
before but it doesn't always happen. I'm now using the latest revission 
from the repository. I disabled beeper, fm, midi and fm in this 
configuration because I didn't want alert tunes and knew I might not be 
able to use the prefs menu. Of course part of this is that brltty can't 
open the .prefs file. Actually I can access the prefs menu if I ignor the 
characters when I first press the chord but once there it takes more than 
one chord-4 to move ahead and then the items to be either skipped or out 
of order. I have to press the spacebar several times to change its value 
and I can't save anyway.

I'm still having the same problems with the latest development version as 
I had with Ubuntu and debian's. When in a console, I can go back once with 
the advance bar and then I can get some other lines but some are skipped 
are truncated. Even if I open emacs, I can only read what is on the line 
of braille I'm on even if the actual line is longer though if I move the 
cursor I can eventually see the rest of the line.

I can at least change between grade 2 and computer braille, though when i 
do so I at first just see a blank line except that if I'm switching to 
grade two I see what looks like an exclamation mark at the far left of the 
display; when I switch to computer braille I just get a blank line. After 
switching several times using the chord-2346, the line I'm on, for 
instance my prompt line, will again pop up or I can get back to it by 
typing a letter after I've done the chord.
