Hi,

> But anyway, I continue thinking about the fact that the driver should not close the link: In the EuroBraille displays, when the link is closed, a message "Link Dead" is printed on the braille display. This would be a problem if the user thinks that BRLTTY died and try to launch a second one (which means concurrent access to the serial port). I prefer the "Screen not in text mode" message, which I can't see anymore because it is replaced by the "link dead" one.

Maybe Sébastien will confirm this: I guess the VisioBraille device
will have the same issue, because the close() method closes the serial
device, and then the kernel puts serial pins down, which may let the
device believe the cable is disconnected.

Regards,
Samuel
