Hello Marco and all,
Oh, I apologize if I was wrong regarding the USB support.
I am using a Humanware Brailliant 40 braille display which is set default=
 to use the Baum protocol. If I changed it to use the Handytech protocol on=
 my serial port I was able to get braille working. But I will try to do the=
 same on a USB port and see what happens.
Blinux should support the Baum variant as well which BRLTTY also supports.=
 I have an older braille display, the Powerbraille 40 from TSI. That is=
 also supported by BRLTTY and should also be supported in Blinux from my=
 opinion.
If one chooce to install the latest factory version of opensuse with the=
 help of the LiveCD, how can one later activate Blinux?
Best regards,
Christian
