[nfbcs] Setting Up Orca with a Braille Edge Display

[Dan Tevelde]

Hello all,
I recently had someone set up a dedicated Linux machine using Orca with the Gnome desktop.  I am trying to enable BRAILLETTY from Urca.  I already defined the display as a ghlueTooth device to the computer.  I can't use USB right now as the USB port on my Braille Edge isn't stable and Hims wants to keep charging me more money to get it fixed.  The computer is seing the Braille Edge as a device, but after I enabled the use Braille checkbox from the Orca settings, nothing happened.
I sent an e-mail to a list dedicated to Braille displays and got one response from someone I'm familiar with who works with Braille display software.  He just asked me to outline the steps I took.  I responded with the same information I am relaying to all of you now.  He didn't respon.  He also has the annoying habit of quoting lines from the original message, and then inserting his comments.  I hate that when people do that.
If any of you could walk me through the steps, I would appreciate it.  I have never used Linux before.

Thanks,
Dan
