I have installed opensuse 11.1 using my braillestar 40 connected via usb =

laptop. This laptop doesn't have a serialport!!!
Sbl supports serial/usb/bluettoth connections.

Your informations are simply wrong.=20
Opensuse can automaticaly detect supported brailledisplays conected via
usb/serial.
ports.

Replacing blinux will break yast accessibility.
There are many features like attribute cursorhandling missing in brltty.
You can't use brltty with yast.
This means brltty can't be used to install opensuse with braille.

No, please not.

As said before brltty doesn't support most of the powerful features which=
 sbl has since 10 Years.
1. speech-only-setup
2. useful Attributehandling
3. Customizable keymaps
4. customizable Application based profiles
5. speech pronounciation stuff

Brllty works only with systemcursors which makes it in my opinion not usa=
ble=20
with ncurses based applications.
Simple applications like alsamixer are not working well with brltty.
Using pine/mc/centericq etc shows the problem more detailed.
