SpeakUp and this are quite independant (though they will probably both end up in the drivers/a11y/ directory), at least just because the way they review the screen is very different. Speech synthesis' matter is the time to say things, while braille's matter is the space to show things. However, they share the same low-level primitives: the recently added keyboard and vc notifiers, screen_glyph(), inverse_translate(), kd_mksound, etc. > > Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault > You forgot a trailing '>' :) Ergl :) Samuel
