It wasn't running, but it was listed when typing lsusb, so it is recognized but wasn't running brltty due to a wrong brltty.conf Ubuntu itself wrote during installation. But read further here... >Can you start brltty from a text > terminal without that U/X etc. question? As said in aprevious mail: - the problem is now resolved due to the usb: lowercase addition at the braille-device line in /etc/brltty.conf - the U/S/B/X screen at boot time still continues to come up, *even now that it is correctly configurated* : I now still need to press X (exit) so it continues to start up.

That's exactly what I'm looking for; let me explain: there are braille tables usually used in some parts of a country; if there are enough locales basically under each distro, making a way to match with it using the best brltty text-table is coherent IMHO: when a sighted person installs Linux in a certain language, both their keyboard + Gnome correspond to the lang they choosed during the system installation (installer); there are lesser braille tables than available languages and locales, but there are uses such I explained in my previous mail: doing nothing to it is not logical IMHO while following the locale method is a much better solution, EVEN WHEN YOU CAN'T RESOLVE 100% of the cases. Of course, realizing this implies to create a list where if locale = mm_NN then do And if that couldn't be realized inside the distro installer, then that can be resolved by a separate brltty-i18n package who may resolve the problem automatically at the first reboot of the system.
