Hi Dave,

Effectively the screen driver of brltty starts fine.
I must have said:
the problem is the screen software.
i have seen a permission error that i corrected at compile time.
(Screen-4.0.3 patched to have the behavior of screen-4.0.1
(concerning shared memory).

finally i made a little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

with:

#!/bin/tcsh

/usr/local/bin/screen -dm # daemon in detached mode
/bin/brltty -q -b fs -d usb:

and brltty starts now but does not display the login.
i mean the braille display shows a #

after blindly ligin (as before)
i do:
sudo screen -x to attach the screen to terminal.
and brltty connect fine but as root!

what i need to know is to automate a procedure
when logged.
i tried several things in .tcshrc but this does not work.
i do not know how to do that.
perhaps you can help.


Thanks
