Looks like you run install-filter.exe -i to install and install-filter.exe -u to uninstall. However, I had to read their installer source code to figure this out, as install-filter.exe doesn't seem to provide any command line help. I'm not sure what files it requires... >> the libusb-win32 filter is ideal if you have a driver already >> installed, while the libusb-win32 driver is ideal if you don't. > Ok, makes a lot of sense. It's rather confusing to explain to most users, though. :) I suspect the majority of users will probably have the manufacturer provided Windows drivers installed, so the filter is probably best for most. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned several times before, the filter seems to have some rather serious problems. (The driver could have these as well; I've never tested it.) >> This is one of the reasons I am tempted to simply implement drivers >> for displays directly in NVDA, as silly and redundant as this is. > You mean using the interface provided by the drivers, or using the > virtual serial port? The API, where provided. However, many displays don't provide this, so we'd have to do virtual serial stuff there. -- James Teh Email/MSN Messenger/Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.jantrid.net/ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
