8 To activate Braille display support during the installation,
9 you need to pass a boot parameter to the boot loader. Here is the format:
10
11 brltty=driver-code,device,text-table
12
13 driver-code: A two-letter code which identifies the display model being in use.
14 See brltty documentation for a complete list.
15 device: The device where the display is connected at. If tts/0, this
16 field can be left blank since that is the default.
17
18 text-table: The braille translation table to be used. Default is the
19 us table. Examples might be de, fr, it, ru ...

21 Example:
22
23 For a PowerBraille display on tts/1 with a german braille translation table:
24 brltty=ts,tts/1,de
25
26 For a HandyTech display on tts/0 with us translation table:
