Yes, and that's a shame. There is no reason why a braille device shouldn't be recognized automatically by an operating system, just like the VGA screen, a USB key, etc. Of course, I *don't* mean that in the case where there is a USB ID conflict brltty should be triggered. Luke has just commited the change to fix that in the current case. But it's not because there are some conflicts sometimes that the whole thing should be dropped!! People should just test Ubuntu before it gets released, to fix such bugs. > I think a worthwhile compromise would be a sub-distribution of Ubuntu > aimed specifically at the sightless accompanied with an easy-to-follow > document on how to make mainstream Ubuntu usable for the sightless. No, no, and again, no. That has been done for years, and no, it does not work on the long term.
