I recommend getting an USB switch and connecting the Braille Star and the USB Keyboard to it. These are cheap, and it should work reliably. The BrailleStar 80 is a desktop device, so you are unlikely to carry it around often. A switch should be fine. > It works for me most of the time with following issues: > > 1. some times brltty doesn't reliable get key releases. > In that case typing isn't possible when EG. the left alt or right alt > hangs etc. > In other cases the last pressed key was repeated until pressing a key > again. I think this is a hardware problem, either in the converter or with the PS/2 port of the Star. The driver can only pass on whatever it receives. > 2. selecting the some keytable in brltty.conf doesn't work here. > I've tested EG the desktop keytable. That is likely a limitation of the PASSAT2 support, yes. I guess this could be fixed though. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
