hi,
yes, I was talking about the same, sorry if I didn't make it clear. the 
menu within VM player. I'm aware of the alt-p menu, but I wasn't aware 
of the other one, alt-m. I knew of tools, but never knew how to access 
it, hence the question. I highlighted a VM, pressed alt-m, but nothing 
happened. how does this work exactly, please?

 Hi.

 He's talking about the tools menu in the vmware program itself, not the
 virtual machine. On my system the settings would actually be under the
 vm menu. With focus on vmware press alt m.


 HTH.

 settings in vinux?

 my linux sees it? wouldn't I have to have speech first
 Just connect your display to the computer as normal.
 In VMWare, you have an option
 "Removable devices"
 under the tools menu, I think.
 Under that menu entry is your braille display. Have it disconnect
 from host and connect to guest. If it is USB, BRLTTY will see it and
 you will have braille. That has always worked reliably for me.
