It is a program that drives a braille display which is one way a blind person can access the computer. The project's guidelines for linux distributions at http://www.mielke.cc/brltty/guidelines.html suggest starting the program very early in the boot sequence. Ideally, I would like to be able to start brltty as soon as /dev is set up either with udev, devfs, or static. There is a new version of brltty which hasn't been put into portage yet, so I thought now would be a good time to ask about it. How should we set this up on gentoo? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
