Bug#514009: Fwd: Bug#514009: release-notes: paragraph about braille display was deleted, but should stay for lenny



Quoting W. Martin Borgert (debacle@debian.org):
> Hi Christian, could you please manage this bug? TIA!


Argh. I confused the new feature *in etch* of voice synthesis devices
and the one *in lenny* to support Braille.

Therefore, I was thinking that the Braille support was old stuff and I
removed it.

Crap.

Attached is a patch to re-add that section.


I prefer handing this off to you instead of committing, just to be
sure that things are done the right way.

I'm unsure, yet, about translations. The PO files might have had
complete/correct translations for this section.....I'm not sure that I
am able to re-exhumate them.

+  <para>
+    You can install &debian; &release; (&releasename;) with a braille
+    display. The braille display must be connected to a
+    <acronym>USB</acronym> or a serial port. If your braille display
+    is connected to a <acronym>USB</acronym> port and the American
+    braille table is supposed to be used, you can press
+    <keycap>Enter</keycap> in the boot menu. The screen reader BrlTTY
+    is standardized to search for braille displays at the
+    <acronym>USB</acronym> port and uses the American Braille
+    table. If the braille display is connected to a serial port or if
+    you want to use a different braille table, you have to press the
+    <keycap>Tab</keycap> key in the boot menu first. Then, you can
+    configure the screen reader BrlTTY with the kernel parameter
+    brltty.
