When I implemented the Active Braille support approximately a year ago,
it definitely worked flawlessly.  Unfortunately, I have not written down
which Firmware version I used, but it must have been something quite
early.  I will (hopefully) get access to an Active Braille tomorrow
evening.  I will report back with more details once I have access to
real hardware.
Why are you using unofficial firmware in the first place?  Are you
trying to fix another problem you have, or are you just curious and not
fond of a working display? :-)
