[-- Attachment #1 --] If the Braille display can take a RS232 serial input then you can configure FreeBSD to use one of the PC serial ports as it's console. Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Lal Manavado Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 9:49 PM To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Use of Braille display with freebsd. Hallo there! Does anyone know someone using a Braille display on a freebsd nbox? Or is there anyone who knows how to get such a display to work with freebsd? I know there are a couple of drivers which does the job for Linux. However, I have not heard of any blind bsd-user. I've checked quite a few faq's, and rtfm'd the manual without success. I am a fairly competent user of Unix, but then I used it at the university, using a Linux machine to telnet into a rhost. So, I've no sys-admin experience. I would greatly appreciate help from someone out there. Thanks very much. Lal.
