[BRLTTY] Fwd: Re: BrailleSense

[Vincent LE GOFF]

Hi,

I'm using a BrailleSense U2, too, on an Ubuntu 14 (well a Vinux 5, to be 
specific).  I didn't have anything to do, however.  When I plugged it, 
the BrailleSense was recognized by BRLTTY at once.  What version of 
BRLTTY are you running on?  I used the 4.5, 5.2 and 5.3 but all three 
recognized the BrailleSense U2, even if the keys weren't necessarily 
recognized in all cases, which is a different problem.  Perhaps there's 
something to install to have the BrailleSense recognized, and it was 
pre-installed on my distribution, although it sounds a bit unlikely.

HTH,

Vincent
