When the boot process starts I quickly get a message saying "redhat something". then amother message and another that go by too fast to read. Then the message "looking for new hardware", then two dot 6's and the letters a and t. If I type a letter on the computer keyboard, the login message may come up. But sometimes I have to press the advance bars to find it. The Braille display doesn't seem to be tracking the line where the cursor is, though it does show dots 78 for the cursor. If I do something like ls I usually have to press the same end of the same advance bar twice to get the display to move. And it is beeping frequently. Any help would be appreciated. I really can't do much with my new Linux until brltty behaves consistently. Thanks. John Computers to Help People, Inc. http://www.chpi.org 825 East Johnson; Madison, WI 53703
