Re: Fenrir 1.9.2 Released

Howdy John,

For my initial work i created an debug braille driver what just prints  
the showhn text to stdout.  I will take a look at your link. The  
initial brltty driver works i tested it with storm dragon. He had a  
braille device. But its verry unpractical to not be able to verify  
your own code after doing some changes :). With the debug driver i  
will not be able to emulate braille input. But fenrir is able by  
design to bind commands to any shortcut also to keyboard what may help  
as well :).

I will fore sure do what i can ;).  But help is very welcome to make a  
perfect job to wire up an best possible result to all :). But foor  
example devins attribute stuff ; i dont know what attributes have an  
braille eqvivalent and how they look like. Do they depend on the used  
braille table?  (Just an example of many questions i have)

Thanks for your links i will investigate.

Cheers chrys
