I haven't seen one of those displays yet. Would you mind describing the key
layout?

On line 39 of BrailleDrivers/Baum/braille.c you should find this:

   static const unsigned int logInputPackets = 0;

Change 0 to 1 and rebuild brltty. Then, if you run it with -ldebug, you should
get a log record for each packet the display sends to the PC. Can you do this
and collect the packets for the various keys? It'd be enough for you to let us
know which order you pressed the keys in and then just send the whole log.
