Am I correct that you ran this program from a graphical terminal? You may try running it from a virtual console, first, and see if that works. By the way are you using Linux or another operating system? > I tried to figure out what this number should be, but didn't manage; > and also tried some more or less random numbers, and when I do this, > it says "brlapi_enterTtyMode: Ok", but then does not write anything on > the Braille Display, nor does it recognize any user input. Did you try the brlapitest program that is in brltty's sources? It may be interesting to see if that works...
