Hi Samuel, You mentioned you didn't quite get how my system is set up. Sorry for not providing enough context in this thread. Here's how things basically work:
I'm natively running Windows XP and Dolphin Supernova 7, which is a combined screen reader and magnifier. WIthin WIndows I have a pair of virtual serial ports com 1 and com 2 that are connected like a null-modem cable. Additionally, I'm running VmWare Server 1.01 which runs Ubuntu Dapper as a guest OS. There's a serial port in that Linux virtual machine which is connected to the host machine's com2 port. The last component of the puzzle is the terminal emulator TeraTerm which monitors the com 1 port, that being the other end of the virtual null modem cable. In this setup I gave the following boot parameter even before launching the DApper installer: console=ttyS0 on the virtual machine. So what this amounts to is this: I can run LInux inside Windows. ALl the console output in LInux goes via the virtual null modem cable to my Windows terminal emulator. There my WIndows screen reader is able to both speak and braille everything console related with my speech synth and language of choice (including proper Finnish support). From Dapper's point of view it is just using a serial console. Additionally, I get the Gnome display inside VmWare Server, and can use Supernova's magnification to examine the screen and roughly track the virtual machine mouse. VmWare server also supports USB devices and if my WIndows reader is not using it, the LINux virtual machine can see my Braille display (Tieman Voyager). What I'd like to do would be to get brlTTY working in the graphical GNome session and terminal, which is something that my native Windows screen reader can neither speak nor braille, of course. I've already got Gnopernicus speaking but it says it cannot find the braillle display. So that's my setup. It is pretty complex, actually. -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Accessibility, game music, synthesizers and programming: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila/ Samuel Thibault wrote: > Hi, > Veli-Pekka Tätilä, le Wed 04 Oct 2006 09:20:12 +0300, a écrit : >> I'm trying to set up both brlTTY and the gnome-orca package and am >> running into a similar problem.
