Re: [orca-list] Orca and braille display

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

While I have not tried Sonar or Fedora recently I am having no issues with 
brltty on ubuntu.  I am using brltty 5.3.  I can certainly create a 
virtual machine or 2 and look at the others but I suspect this more a 
setup problem than a brltty problem unless you are using the head version 
of brltty which may well have issues.
