[BRLTTY] Fwd: brltty.log on rpi4

[Brian Tew]

David,
I do not have a monitor hooked to the pi. I guess I need to comment all the screen stuff in brltty.conf.
Do you still want the screen drive entry in the debug command?

Okay, I fully agree. It's communicting with the device. The odd thing, to me, is that, even though you've clearly specified both the inpkts and outpkts log levels, no packets appear within the log.

I now see wehre that word "text" is coming from. It's what the fallbacktext screen driver parameter is set to. This implies that there's some problem with reading the screen. I'm not seeing any screen reading errors, though. Could you please add the scrdrv log category and capture another log?

Please remind me? Am I correct that you're running brltty on a bs6, i.e. on a BrailleSense 6?

Note that the system from which you forwarded the log is the one where your name is set to "gmail". You should be able to fix it with: usermod -c
