Some notes on SUSE-specific configuration of brltty
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
USB:
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Most USB Braille displays should be autodetected by udev, starting brltty.
|
|
However, some Braille displays have the same product IDs as generic
|
|
USB-to-serial adapters, and, in order to avoid a conflict with these
|
|
adapters, the brltty udev rules for them are not installed by default. If
|
|
you have an Albatross, Cebra, Hims, HandyTech, or MDV display and connect it
|
|
via USB, then you may want to install the brltty-udev-generic package.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can have systemd automatically start brltty at boot. Run
|
|
chkconfig brltty on
|
|
as the superuser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authentication:
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
By default, brltty authenticates with clients (such as orca) via a key
|
|
file. However, SUSE enables polkit-based authentication instead.
|
|
This eliminates the need to, ie, add users to the brlapi group in order
|
|
to be able to have orca interact with the Braille display. It also
|
|
disallows remote users from interacting with the display. If you would
|
|
like to change this behavior, then you can edit the api-parameters
|
|
directive in /etc/brltty.conf.
