The adapter shows up in the = lsusb command, as a keyspan something or other. I knew that the adapter = was called something like that, so i did lsusb | grep -i keyspan and it turned up as device 0:03 or something like that. I should've = saved the output, sigh, oops. Anyway, i know it's there, which is the = important part. So I run the command brltty -b al -d /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1 2 3, just to make sure. and nothing comes up on the display. Was brltty compiled for this cd without the ability to find the USB = adapter? Or is something else going on. On the upside, I did get speech to happen with a USB sound card. BUt i = need my braille too. If need be, I can rummage in the scary dark den of = iniquity known as my garage and dig out another PCI card with a serial = port on it, but I'd like to take the easy road first.
