This driver allows BRLTTY to access braille displays through BrlAPI. Multiple
|
|
instances of brltty can hence be run, one using the real braille driver, the
|
|
others accessing it through the API. Each instance of BRLTTY can use a different
|
|
screen driver thanks to the -x command-line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, in a gnome desktop you can run a second BRLTTY that reads
|
|
gnome-terminal by running
|
|
|
|
brltty -b ba -x as
|
|
|
|
from your X session.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another example is accessing the Linux console of a remote host:
|
|
|
|
ssh -R 4102:localhost:4101 root@theremotehost brltty -b ba -B host=localhost:1
|
|
|
|
This will forward your local BrlAPI port (4101) to the remote machine (as 4102,
|
|
i.e. :1), where you can then run brltty and tell it to connect to localhost:1.
|
|
This will however take complete control of your braille device. To restrict the
|
|
control to some local console (e.g. console 4), you can use e.g.
|
|
|
|
ssh -R 4102:localhost:4101 root@theremotehost WINDOWPATH=4 brltty -b ba -B host=localhost:1
