The "n startup problems" message is displayed by brltty when there are problems 
like bad options, bad configuration file entries, etc. All you need to do to 
get brltty to continue is press any key on the braille display. You should be 
able to find the problems by looking for brltty lines in the system log (often 
/var/log/messages).

Is the "n startup problems" message which remains on the braille display until 
a key on the display is pressed proving to be too confusing? Should we get rid 
of it? It's intention was to draw the user's attention to the fact that he may 
need to correct something.
