Hi!
I need to disconnect my braillex el 40 	s and then be able to connect it back and make brltty detect it automatically.
However this seems to be more difficult than it sounds like.
Normally you should just be able to disconnect the cable and then connect it bak again.
However its not so simple here.
Whenever i do this here the display starts flashing and its like its been half detected but for some reason can't comunicate with the display.
Of course i can invoke the brltty command and it will start a new process with the display up and running.
However this will not solve the problem as brltty is already running.
I'm hoping i'm clear enough now.
THis problem is appearing especially when running vmware and windows and then returns from windows to vinux.
I guess its because the usb device is taken over by windows but i'm not sure.
I also need to carry my display with me and therefore want brltty to start properly when i come back and reconnect the display.
/A
