Hi Gordon, I don't work with grafic user interfaces at all, since I have a hardware speach solution for all kinds of operating systems. But I know that it's possible to use YAST-1 with a more text cell oriented user surface. I suggest to try the YAST-1. Marco, could You please describe in more detail the steps needed in order to get into YAST-1, thanks. Greetings from germany...

Hi.

I am still struggling with the Braille interface in the Yast2 installation program for SuSE. I can't seem to move around the installation dialogs properly. The keys I am trying to use are: Tab to advance to the next dialog, up/down arrow to select items in list boxes and radio buttons. Space to highlight an option in a radio button. Enter to select the next button. However, the Braille display is not tracking the changes on-screen, and parts of the display appear to be getting complete garbled. Also, is there a way to change the Braille translation table from the German 8-dot default, (which I find extremely difficult to read), to English 6-dot? I'm using an Alva-Braille ABT340. The display seems responsive enough, and is initialising reliably now. Finally, wen I boot into the installation, I'm getting some sort of message about my computer not supporting the graphical installation, and about needing a minimum of 64M of RAM for this. It also says something like as a fallback, the textual front-end will be used to guide me through the installation. Is this normal for users of Braille, or could it be that SuSE doesn't like my graphics card? Any help appreciated.

Kind regards, Gordon Smith.

The keys you are useing are ok. If the tracing for the brailledisplay is not working try to go one line up or down. There are problemes becouse of the different frames in yast2 and sometimes this helps.

Also, is there a way to change the Braille translation table from the German 8-dot default, (which I find extremely difficult to read), to English 6-dot? I'm using an Alva-Braille ABT340. The display seems responsive enough, and is initialising reliably now.

Yes, you can switch to 6-dot-braille by pressing the following keycombination: B002+B003 Press the 2. button on your display and holt this button and then press the third button.

There is no problem with your grafics card, this message is normal if your are installing SusE-Linux with a brailledevice. Have fun, Schoeppi -- SuSE-Blinux Support Christian Schöpplein Tel.: Di. und Do. 15.00 - 20.00 Uhr 0421/526-2480 www: http://www.blinux.suse.de
