| This driver allows to use any tty as peripheral for BrlTTY. There are many ways | |
| to use it. | |
| By ssh-ing from another machine | |
| ------------------------------- | |
| ssh from machB to machA, and give the current tty as device to brltty: | |
| samy@machB$ ssh machA | |
| samy@machA$ su - | |
| Password: | |
| root@machA# brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n | |
| By using an Xterm | |
| ----------------- | |
| Just give the tty used by the xterm to brltty. | |
| $ su - | |
| Password: | |
| # brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n | |
| By using a real tty | |
| ------------------- | |
| Just give the serial port on which it is connected to brltty: | |
| # brltty -b tt -d /dev/ttyS0 -B term=ampex232,baud=19200,charset=IBM850,locale=fr_FR.IBM850 | |
| I here had to precise the type of terminal (I have an Ampex232, see somewhere | |
| like /usr/share/terminfo for your own's. | |
| I also had to tell that it uses the IBM850 codepage table. And I hence also | |
| had to tell to use a special locale: fr_FR.IBM850, since I want french, | |
| with IBM850 charset. I had to generate since by hand by adding | |
| fr_FR.IBM850 IBM850 | |
| to my /etc/locale.gen, and then relaunch locale-gen | |
| Notes | |
| ----- | |
| Another machine connected by a null-modem can be used as a tty: just run | |
| minicom on it, and use vt100 as type of terminal. | |
| If a BrlAPI application writes dots (Gnopernicus for instance) you won't | |
| get the text. | |
| See help.txt (or press F1) to get help on key bindings | |
| Default configuration should be fine, but if not, get sure to use 8-dot text | |
| style and not to show attributes in the configuration menu (F4). | |
| Note that when the displayed window is not supposed to contain the cursor, the | |
| cursor is actually put below the displayed window. |
