Hi Samuel,
When I run the below script, I am expecting to see the word "hello"
displayed on the display. That does not happen.
The output that I get on my console is:
brl_test.py
[pranav@archlinux ~]$ python brl_test.py
Server version 8
Display size [40, 1]
[
The display however is clear.
I am running the script over a ssh connection.
import brlapi
import errno
import Xlib.keysymdef.miscellany
import time
try:
b = brlapi.Connection()
b.enterTtyModeWithPath("")
print("Server version " +
str(b.getParameter(brlapi.PARAM_SERVER_VERSION, 0, brlapi.PARAMF_GLOBAL)))
print("Display size " +
str(b.getParameter(brlapi.PARAM_DISPLAY_SIZE, 0, brlapi.PARAMF_GLOBAL)))
b.writeText("hello")
time.sleep(20)
b.leaveTtyMode()
b.closeConnection()
except Exception as e:
print("error")
print(e)

To override any kind of focus tracking you can take the whole control of the
display with b.enterTtyModeWithPath() instead of b.enterTtyMode().
