List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi listers I dug out my powerbraille 80 yesterday and decided to put it to use. So I installed the brltty 3.2 RPM, editted the configuration file, and launched brltty. All was well... for about 5 seconds. Then my display showed what looks like computer braille question marks (dots 1-4-5-6). Moving around the screen with my braille display revealed nothing but computer braille questionmarks on the bottom half, and grade II braille questionmarks (dots 2-3-6) on the top half of the screen. When starting brltty in rc.sysinit, things go better up until right before it goes multiuser. Then my display goes back to the questionmarks. I'm assuming it's something RH does in the boot scripts, but for the life of me, I can't find it. This does not happen when I connect the display to my laptop running slackware 9. Any brltty/redhat users know what's going on here? Yes, I know this is the speakup list.
