This driver allows to use any tty as peripheral for BrlTTY. There are many ways
|
|
to use it.
|
|
|
|
By ssh-ing from another machine
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ssh from machB to machA, and give the current tty as device to brltty:
|
|
|
|
samy@machB$ ssh machA
|
|
samy@machA$ su -
|
|
Password:
|
|
root@machA# brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n
|
|
|
|
By using an Xterm
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Just give the tty used by the xterm to brltty.
|
|
|
|
$ su -
|
|
Password:
|
|
# brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n
|
|
|
|
By using a real tty
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Just give the serial port on which it is connected to brltty:
|
|
|
|
# brltty -b tt -d /dev/ttyS0 -B term=ampex232,baud=19200,charset=IBM850,locale=fr_FR.IBM850
|
|
|
|
I here had to precise the type of terminal (I have an Ampex232, see somewhere
|
|
like /usr/share/terminfo for your own's.
|
|
|
|
I also had to tell that it uses the IBM850 codepage table. And I hence also
|
|
had to tell to use a special locale: fr_FR.IBM850, since I want french,
|
|
with IBM850 charset. I had to generate since by hand by adding
|
|
fr_FR.IBM850 IBM850
|
|
to my /etc/locale.gen, and then relaunch locale-gen
|
|
|

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Another machine connected by a null-modem can be used as a tty: just run
|
|
minicom on it, and use vt100 as type of terminal.
|
|
|
|
If a BrlAPI application writes dots (Gnopernicus for instance) you won't
|
|
get the text.
|
|
|
|
See help.txt (or press F1) to get help on key bindings
|
|
Default configuration should be fine, but if not, get sure to use 8-dot text
|
|
style and not to show attributes in the configuration menu (F4).
|
|
|
|
Note that when the displayed window is not supposed to contain the cursor, the
|
|
cursor is actually put below the displayed window.
