[BRLTTY] brltty new user

[Storm Dragon]

Howdy,
Sorry, I was sure I attached both lol. Default.conf should be attached to this one.
I believe Kendell answered the stuff about Odroid and staging, but in brief, and Odroid is a small computer that uses the ARM architecture. Staging is part of the kernel where possibly unstable code is placed, it is unsupported. Speakup does not belong there, but is for whatever reason. Speakup is about ast stable as they come lol.
I run Arch Linux on my computers. There is an Arch Linux Arm port, and it is the one that does not have staging in the kernel.
I guess I could build my own kernel, I'll just have to figure out where to download the source from since this is not the mainline kernel.
Brltty can work for most things for me, and for what it can't, I guess I could just use orca in a terminal emulator.
Thanks
Storm
