I think it'd be unreasonable to require a text mode only BrlAPI application to have a dependency on the graphical environment. I also think it'd be unreasonable for the basic infrastructure to preclude the possibility of a text mode only accessible application. Right now, BrlAPI allows a text mode application to claim the braille display. It knows which application should be in control of the display, or (the default) that BRLTTY should be in control of the display, based on the tty which is currently active. It'd be nice if this same capability were available for a text mode application running within a terminal window. The default within a terminal window would be that Gnopernicus is in control of the display. If, however, a text mode BrlAPI application is running within a particular terminal window then BrlAPI needs to be able to know/detect this so that it can give control to that application while its terminal window has the focus. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
