This has nothing to do with the braille driver. It'd be a problem with the 
Linxx keyboard event handler. Are you able to build and test the latest 
development code to see if the problem still exists? It's possible that a 
recent fix has resolved problems like the one you're describing.

You want to specify the -ldebug option to log as much as possible, as well as 
the -e option so that logs are written to standard error. You also then want to 
use 2> to redirect standard error to a known file.

Another thing I'd like you to do first, assuming you can build from source, is 
to turn on input packet logging. This is done by editing the file 
Programs/driver.c, changing the value of logInputPackets from 0 to 1, and 
rebuilding brltty.
