Hello,

When I run BRLTTY with option "-k" to enable key table, Xorg doesn't start properly (the keyboard doesn't work, I can't switch to a different console). 

Here is a piece of /proc/bus/input/devices :

I: Bus=0000 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="brltty"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input7
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event7 rfkill 
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0004
N: Name="ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input8
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event8 rfkill 
B: EV=3
B: KEY=ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff



And of Xorg.0.log :

(II) config/udev: Adding input device (null) (/dev/input/event7)
(EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
(II) config/udev: Adding input device "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device" (/dev/input/event8)
(**) "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device": always reports core events
(**) "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device": Device: "/dev/input/event8"
(II) "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device": Found keys
(II) "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device": Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device ""ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device"" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "pc102"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "fr"
(**) Option "xkb_options" "lv3:menu_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

Can anyone see where the issue come from ? (I use BRLTTY 4.2dev rev 5064, Xorg 1.7.5).

Regards,

Alex
