Ok. the distribution was Debian testing aka etch. I tried to do what you
suggest but no luck, the problem was still here. It was impossible for
me to desactivate usb support since my braille display only support usb
connextion.
so, yesterday I reinstalled completlyt my system replacing the etch
distribution by the sarge. after that I tried to compile brltty 3.7 and
had errors when doing "make". The problem was that I made a spelling
mistake when entering the name of the braille table file. After
compilation and installation I tried to use brltty but it was impossible
because the braille display was constantly refreshed so impossible to
read something. If I remember well, someone already report this issue
with brltty 3.7 compiled in 64 bits architecture on this mailing
list. so after that I compiled and installed the brltty from subversion
repository and now it seems to work well !

Thx again for help,
