Hi Petra. I just followed your instructions with an Alva Braille Terminal running as a USB device via serial to USB adapter. Your step 4 is "open the terminal". I wasn't sure if you meant got into the virtual console with Control Alt F1 or launched gnome-terminal, so I tried both ways. The former works; the latter produces the results you describe. This is with the current (as of this afternoon) Live CD.
Hope this helps!
