Subject: [gentoo-accessibility] refreshable braille displays vs. sound cards
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 09:04:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.NEB.2.23.451.2010290855090.25296@panix1.panix.com> (raw)

Are refreshable braille displays less complex to configure with make
menuconfig in /usr/src/linux?  If so, that may be a future possibility for
me with gentoo since the sound card certainly can't be configured
correctly with make menuconfig on this end.

Menuconfig could benefit by use of hardware testing tools to test existing
hardware interactively then select the correct kernel configuration based
on such discoveries.

Maybe genkernel would be a better candidate for such interactive software
detection, that I don't know since genkernel isn't how any accessibility
gets built into kernels on gentoo if my information is correct.

To get anything working at all beyond chroot environment I will try
installing a pre-built kernel and see what if any accessibility is
possible down that path.
