| This driver allows BRLTTY to access braille displays through BrlAPI. Multiple |
| instances of brltty can hence be run, one using the real braille driver, the |
| others accessing it through the API. Each instance of BRLTTY can use a different |
| screen driver thanks to the -x command-line option. |
| |
| |
| For example, in a gnome desktop you can run a second BRLTTY that reads |
| gnome-terminal by running |
| |
| brltty -b ba -x as |
| |
| from your X session. |
| |
| |
| Another example is accessing the Linux console of a remote host: |
| |
| ssh -R 4102:localhost:4101 root@theremotehost brltty -b ba -B host=localhost:1 |
| |
| This will forward your local BrlAPI port (4101) to the remote machine (as 4102, |
| i.e. :1), where you can then run brltty and tell it to connect to localhost:1. |
| This will however take complete control of your braille device. To restrict the |
| control to some local console (e.g. console 4), you can use e.g. |
| |
| ssh -R 4102:localhost:4101 root@theremotehost WINDOWPATH=4 brltty -b ba -B host=localhost:1 |
