Hi all, I try to install SuSE 8 with an handytec BrailleTop But I encounter a big problem using Yast2. The BrailleTop is properly detected but when I try to navigate between the various choices present on the screen the braille display doesn't follow the cursor properly. I read the faq and others documentations on the unofficial english webpage and find that I need to indicate to the brailleTop that I want to switch to profile 2. To do such thing I pressed on the first left key, maintain it pressed and press the height key from left. I hear two beeps and then I suppose I'm in profile 2 but despite this command the problem is the same. So what can I do now to have the BrailleDisplay following the cursor in order to know which option is selected ? Thanks in advance for your help and advices.

You don't have to switch to profile 2 manually, that is onle necesary for older versions. Unfortunatly SuSE 8.0 is verry difficult to install for blind people, the profile for yast2 needed during instalation doesn't work very good in the installatoinrutine, the problem is yast2 and not sbl. yast2 uses not the same collors in the different installationscreens, so we had no chance to make a profile that works for the whole installation. Sorry for the bad news :-(!

Oh yes, bad news ! So today we can say that blind people can not install SuSE 8 without sighted assistance ? So, the following question comes to me : Are the Yast2 people working to resolve this colors problem which prevent to implement correctly a SuSE-BLinux profile for Yast2 ?

Installing SuSE 8.0 was really a hard job, but SuSE 8.1 works better. We hope, that SuSE 8.2 will be even more better. But people who had installed a SuSE-distro before, should be able to install the 8.0 also. Its a little bit tricky, but it works.
Are the Yast2 people working to resolve this colors problem which prevent to implement correctly a SuSE-BLinux profile for Yast2 ?
We are in contact with the YaST2 developers and will get the betas of new distros much earlier than before, so teh chances for setup a good profile for the installationroutine are much bigger than in the past. But it will be hard to get every screen of YaST2 working fine, the layout of YaST2 is sometime a little to heavy for sbl :-(. We try our best ;-).
