Braillenote PK and Linux

[Beth Hatch]

Hello Guy,

I've successfully installed both Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux using
Brltty with the BrailleNote as a Braille display.  Unfortunately, unless
things have changed, the current version of Speakup doesn't work with the
Keynote synthesizer.  If Speakup could be made to work with this, you could
use the BrailleNote's synthesizer as it emulates the Keynote.  I believe
someone on this list got the Keynote to work, but I'm not exactly sure how
that was done.  Perhaps someone with more knowledge then myself can
enlighten all of us.<smile>

Best Regards,

Beth

Subject: Braillenote PK and Linux

Hi all:

I've been away for a while due to work, but got a question.  I was running
Linux on an Athlon 1.3 GHZ processor, but have now migrated to a P4 3.0 GHZ.
I want to install Linux on my new system, but don't have any ISA slots for
my doubletalk.  I do however have a braillenote PK.  Can I use that as a
synth in Linux?  If so, can someone give me some advice or point me toward
any howtos?  I'm thinking about installing Fedora or possibly Debbian.
Probably will stick with Fedora though, since that's what I was running
before and it ran pretty flawlessly.  Any help in this matter would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Guy
