Subject: Re: [PATCH2] Basic braille screen reader support

Hello,

Could the basic braille screen reader be pushed to 2.6.26?

Else, could at least the patch below be applied, so that people can
compile external accessibility modules a lot more easily? (no need to
patch vanilla kernel, which is a huge win for people who already have a
hard time just using their computer...)

Samuel

Export functions typically used by screen reading modules.
