The preferences are not saved in /etc/brltty.conf. They usually reside in /var/lib/brltty/brltty.prefs. Also, as a tip for the future: When you delete config files to see if things improve, it is a bit safer to just move the file away. Linux even has a place for that, /var/backups. I typically do something like # mv foo.extension /var/backups instead of # rm foo.extension since it is pretty easy to rollback if you didn't delete the file. > Also, the “brltest” command doesn’t seem to be on my system. This binary is usually not installed, since it is more of a developer tool. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
