I have a couple of questions.
I downloaded brltty in the hopes that my Pacmate braille display would work
with it however, when I installed it it did not support the Pacmate
display. How do I make this happen?
Secondly are the right modules in the speakup kernel all ready to go when I
want to add say festival or do I need to do some compiling? I am using
kernel 2.4.22 on the Sarge dist of Debian?
One last question here can someone refresh my memory as how to uninstall a
package with dpkg I have forgotten?

Hi,
As far as I know, the only Freedom Scientific products that will work with
Brltty are the Braille'N Speak and the Braille Lite. So unfortunately, I
think you're stuck if you have a Pack Mate.
Best regards,
Beth

What version of Brltty did you download? The README in the
FreedomScientific dir of the Brltty 3.6.1 source says it will support
your display.

If you're still running 2.4.22, you will need to upgrade. Sarge uses
2.4.27 or 2.6.8. There's no reason why you can't upgrade to the latest
kernels, though.

apt-get remove package
Hope this helps.

Has anybody ever tried to run Brltty and Speakup together? I have a
PowerBraille 80 on my machine and think it would be neat to use it under
Linux. However, I am not willing to give up the great speech support of
Speakup. I know that in the Microsoft world of DOS and Windows, there are
plenty of screen readers that have both speech and Braille support, but
they aren't common under Linux. I am wondering if I can expect conflicts
between Speakup and Brltty. Speakup uses a Type 'N Speak on /dev/ttyS0
and the PB80 would be on /dev/ttyS1. Thanks in advance for any
information.

Hi
Yes I did recently but then shortly after upgraded my motherboard now don't
have access to Linux. <Sigh> Anyway your question. No it is really easy,
all you need to do is to grab the nearest tar ball and unpack it and read
the install docs for your display. All I had to do was to ensure that the
nospeach line was uncommented as well as the line referring to my display in
the makefile. Then just run the make.
Sorry, I haven't got my installation to double check. But it is easy. I
didn't need to ask anyone on the reflector how to do that one. <Smile>

Hello all. As you can tell, I'm way behind on my speakup messages,
having just returned from a 2 week vacation.
The anser is yes, brltty works great with Speakup, and the Power Braille
80. I use this combination all the time, and it is simply a wonderful
work environment. I get both speech and braille, and can use either or
both at will. What more could one ask for?
