I'm afraid it didn't help in my case. Also, the Braille is not showing which buttons I am highlighting when I press the Tab key, and the up/down arrows are not making any difference either. For example, if I manage to get to the hard drive and custom partition options, as I did once by sheer chance, I cannot tell where I am. Moving around with the Braille keys doesn't really help me either, because I cannot tell which option or options are selected, ecept in the case of radio buttons, which have an X next to them if selected.
Hmm, I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce your problems on my system. If you
are in listboxes you shuld see the actual item (not higlightetd) and then
the rest of the line (highlightetd). By moving up and down with the
cursorkeys you shuld be able to switch between the different items of the
list. By pressing the tabkey you'll get to the next list or the next
element of the screen. The actual element or the selected item is also
marked with the cursor in front of it or witch the cursor in the same
line. you can select a item or a radiobutton by pressing either the
enterkey or space. Just try a little bit and move arround in the
yast2-installationprocedure, I'm sure with a littlle exercising you'll can
solve the problems. Its really a little tricky, but it shuld work. You
can't do wrong anything and the installationprogramm does not make any
changes to your system, until you answer "yes" to the last question of the
whole installationprocedure. Also you'll get a summary of all setting
before this last question, so you can controll if every thing is selected
right. What do you see on your brailledisplay, if your are in the hard
drive and custom partition options? How do you want to install linux? On
wich partitions, how much harddrives etc.?
Best regards and don't give up, I'm 100% sure we'll get linux working on
your computer!!!
