Re: How to change Gnopernicus settings ?

["Nath" <nath31 ifrance com>]

Hi Adi and all,

First thanks Adi for your help.
This message to give you the news of the day.
First I want to say that I don't work on Solaris OS. My linux distribution
is the Debian Woody. 
As you told me Adi I gave the good rights for the serial port and now
braille works ok. But I encounter the same problem as I have with speech :
when I  press keys in order to go through the items on the screen
sometimes I obtain speech and braille feedback and sometimes nothing
happens.  Perhaps this problem  doesn't occur on another machine. actually
I test things on a laptop . Then I'm going to install all the things on a
desktop system in order to see if it will give a better result. I'll keep
you informed about the new results.

Regards,
