Re: Why Can't I use BRLTTY With Gnopernicus

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

Peter,

Thanks for your clarification. I'll certainly be glad when the Baum people 
can return to work. Getting Gnopernicus up with good brltty support is 
very importqant to some of my own projects. I'm trying to scratch my own 
itcvh by looking at the source code of the relevant modules. Soimething in 
either Gnopernicus or brltty has changed. So far it looks like brltty is 
the more likely, because everytime I press a key on my braille keyboard, 
except for a few, there is a message on the tty where I invoked startx 
that says "Default: sending DKxxxx".

Maybe this information will be useful to someone on this list.
