[BRLTTY] BrailleSense QWERTY

[Vincent LE GOFF]

Hi,

Okay, I got it worked and the navigation keys are usable, thank you so 
much.  All I'd like now is a way to get into the BRLTTY preferences, as 
there are some things that are a bit annoying (although not really 
important).

Regarding my compilation error, I had it worked by:

* Removing the current brltty version (I succeeded in building the new 
one without doing it, but the system didn't use the new one)
* Removing by end, after the 'make' but before the 'make intall', the 
/var/run/brltty file.  It was a file, not a directory.  It was on the 
system but BRLTTY obviously expected it to be a directory. It wasn't.  
So I had to remove it before running 'make install'.
* Running 'make' before 'make install' was necessary, although I'm not 
quite sure about that.

BRLTTY 5.3 was successfully installed on my system.  What's more, I can 
very easily build it from the sources now, so once the BrailleSense 
QWERTY is fully integrated, it will be easy to install it.

Thank you so much again and tell me if I can help more.

Vincent
