[BRLTTY] BrailleSense QWERTY

[Vincent LE GOFF]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.  Thank you for your prompt reply.  I'm running 
Vinux on a virtual machine (perhaps the probem comes from here, but I 
don't think so).  I had to restart it and find a way to transfer the log 
file.  I'm afraid this first attempt will not help you much.  Here's 
what my log was filled with.  I guess I should have stopped BRLTTY 
before running the 'sudo brltty -L/path/to/log/file /linputs.brlkeys' 
command, but I don't know how to do that:

... and so on. Nothing meaningful seemed to be in this file, I guess I 
didn't do the right thing.  Since it was hard to upload the log file and 
took me some time, perhaps the useful information was lost, too, which 
is possible.  Can you tell me how to restart BRLTTY with the proper 
options?  I'm quite nez to Linux (at least as far as a direct access is 
concerned) and I guess I missed something on the way.

Thank you again,

Vincent
