Hi,
I was trying to test  invocation of brlapi; but with out a refreshable
braille display.  Can you please suggest what are the options to test
writing "Hello World "  and accept a command or text from the simulated
braille. I have tried the following,

[1]   Getting Config Error:
Followed the instruction on
http://brl.thefreecat.org/text-apps-a11y-test.html
 ./configure --with-braille-driver=xw,-all --with-screen-driver=as,-all
--with-speech-driver=-all
checking for addmntent... yes
configure: error: unknown braille driver: xw



[2] Running provided ./apitest         to Write/Display on a xterm TTY.
Here brlttly is installed by default configure and make install.

sudo brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n

And in another xterm  executed .apitest

On the first window
brltty: Linux Screen Driver:
brltty: BrlAPI Server: release 0.6.0
brltty: unsupported parameter: term=xterm
brltty: TTY Braille Driver: version 0.2 (August, 2004)
brltty: NoSpeech Speech Driver:
screen not in text mode
brltty: TTY Braille Driver: version 0.2 (August, 2004)
brltty: NoSpeech Speech Driver:

                       brltty: writing exception 7 to 10

conversion
                       brltty: key 1000007B not suported in raw keycode
mode.
                       brltty: BrlAPI connection fd=5 accepted: local

                       brltty: BrlAPI connection fd=11 accepted: local
<unnamed>


Any help/direction on   quickly  testing a display/command entry simulation
is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Siju samuel
