Bug 22895 – BrlTTY 3.2, braille terminal support for console, braille drivers for USB displays, installer support, blind VI Linux community

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Sabahattin Gucukoglu 2003-06-15 18:57:29 UTC]

Please consider adding BrlTTY with all its build-time configurability to the 
repertoire.  Also don't forget the module(s) for USB braille terminal(s) such 
as the voyager in your LiveCD.  If you can, try to have a supportive brltty 
start up when the user gives kernel parameters, that would mean that they get 
the first prompt to do the install work and custom building with.  You mustn't 
use framebuffer in these (or any other) circumstances with BrlTTY.  I like the 
Gentoo idea and have a terminal, so this would be great!  Braille is the system 
of writing used by the blind.  Finally, please don't forget USB serial device 
modules (I have Belkin F5U103), or I'm screwed.  For more see Debian Sarge 
installer.

Cheers!

Bob, would be nice to add this at some point -- when we have everything working and someone (or several people) who can test it.

bug #4033440334 has a brltty ebuild in it, I know of other users who would be willing to test this if it was put in a livecd, but first, should get the ebuild in portage if possible.

I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to
move all the bugs.
