And what happens if a X application tries to use BRLAPI? The device is reopened ?

I agree to put this feature as an option. I forgot to mention that I use a USB-to-serial converter, but this stuff is not responsible for that , because with a single serial connection the result is the same (a SIGSEGV, due to a 0-columns, display).
Another hack, would be to call brl_reset() if the returned number of cells is 0 ?
