Hello! Yeah, I want to have brltty too. I want to have suse as accessible as debian or fedora, when you can use brltty at boot time with any display you like, and you can choose whether you want to install from the live cd or to have a text install. I don't like that you need a serial display in order to install suse from the normal cd or dvd, there are almost no motherbords with serial ports left, and the new braille displays are usb displays.
halim Sain already mentioned that this is not true the usb support works currently for handytech, alva, and papenmeier
Also, suse blinux is built on brltty, so I don't understand why it doesn't become updated. not really build on brltty - one of the first svl version was a fork of brltty - yes but since the last 10 years - I added many features that brlty does not have
specially for ncurses based applications and customization like keymaps, profiles speech filters etc. if you have any feature request - just let us know and we can discuss it here thanks marco

Blinux doesn't support that many braille displays and it's very frustrating that one needs to have a serial display for installing openSUSE. Well, one could use the Live CD, but I prefer braille. When I last checked the repositories I could not find BRLTTY. Has this been added or are there any planns to eventually replace the old Blinux with BRLTTY? Is anyone else interested in this as well? Best regards, Christian
