Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Lorenzo Taylor Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 11:20 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Speakup in user space, why or why not? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Janina Sajka: # In other words, you get Speakup across any and all consoles that you # might open. In my case that's 24 consoles (or 23 on the machines where I # also have a GUI Desktop). Try that from user space. I don't think it # could be done. Brltty does it. And I don't think it's just because it uses a braille display. Somehow, it always has access to the currently open console in userspace. # Then there's persistence--meaning that your access continues to function # in the face of whatever might happen to an application you're running. # Not only kernel panics will talk, but any application gone awry can # often, nay usually, be brought under control from a second console. I'm not sure about kernel panics, but brltty does this too from userspace. While I had my braille display, if I had any trouble with an app, I could always switch to another console to fix or kill it if necessary.
