Re: On the project.

Researching, I have come upon information that the iSight will hold a
maximum of 4.5 GB RAM while the other iMac G5
is limited at 2GB RAM.
Brltty needs to have ./autogen ran first.
cat configure|more
I do not understand the mindset of this community at times.
I am very certain that the Americans with Disabilities Act and the visually
impaired community would gladly - and there is information on
the forums - work again - notice the word "again" because they have asked
multiple times in the past - with the FreeBSD community.
I am not blind; yet, it seems to make more sense in the FreeBSD community
to set up NetFlix while ignoring millions of people who would benefit from
FreeBSD working with braille devices.
Before any of you reply with sarcasm or excuses-
I need neurosurgery.
It is a shame that someone in bad health as myself is the only one willing
to work on this.
