i did try the command for remove brltty, but it says that the package has not been installed and so it wont be removed. i am here trying to use the serial port as i have not yet loaded the usbnet module. i did try ls /dev/ttyU* to check for usb ports but none were found as such once i plug in the system i cant type in anything. so the idea of typing dmesg couldnt be completed ?? don On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 10:28 PM, Patrick Schaefer <pws...@gm...> wrote: > What may be happening is the port is not being added due to the brltty > package. brltty is a software package that does allows the use of a braille > display.
