I can't get brltty to load using my serial to USB adapter, and this is kind of critical since I need my braille.. 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.

Rob,
Just saw your msg about braille display. Can't you poke around in the
/dev directory to determine which com port is assigned to your display?
ls /dev/tty*
