Yes, that's what Corinna meant by "default CYGWIN=notty". >brltty does not touch at the cygwin tty layer.

Ok, it sounds like there is no need whatsoever to set CYGWIN=tty with brltty. That is good news. I'd be pretty surprised if it was the case since if CYGWIN=tty *was* required then it seems like mintty would work too since the difference between the ptys that mintty uses and CYGWIN=tty mode is very small. Has anyone tried running brltty without setting CYGWIN=tty? cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
