Bug#501160: brltty-udeb: Serial to USB converters detected as HandyTech
Mario Lang, le Mon 06 Oct 2008 10:57:40 +0200, a écrit :
brltty-udeb currently detects USB devices 0403:6001 as a handytech
device. However, that conflicts with people using some ftdi serial to
USB converters: since udev runs brltty before the kernel command line
gets parsed by S37brltty, one can not set brltty=something,ttyUSB0.
I guess the safest way would be to just comment the 0403:6001 line in
debian/brltty-udeb.udev.rules
I know, yes, but thats *my* display. Convince me that I should
cripple autodetection of my display type.
gah :)
What about brltty=off which would prevent brltty from starting at all?
Actually I wasn't talking about sighted users, but about blind users
using an FTDI serial to USB converter to plug a serial braille device.
What we could do is making the udev script detect the brltty= option
on the kernel command line and in that case just exit, i.e. make the
kernel command line override autodetection. That will make brltty=off
work indeed. I've attached a patch that seems to work.

I am pretty convinced that disabling autodetection of a braille display to avoid a collision with another device is the wrong way to go. Its far easier for a sighted user to just disable brltty in case they have a conflict than it is for a blind user to type a bootloader option blindly. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer URL:http://debian.org/ .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- URL:http://delysid.org/ URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
