I have no idea how such a setup could look like but I'd try it if you
can tell a little bit more detailed what I have to to please.
The advantage to use the Mate terminal would also be that you can use
many of the features of a graphical environment. For example it would be
very easy to copy and paste the content ofthe clipboard betwenn the two
environments. Will that also be possible when using xterm to run brltty?
Like said, I would giv it a try, but to be honest I'd be more happy if
brltty would be able to run in a graphical terminal without the
mensioned problems.
Cheers,
