[BRLTTY] could this be a bug?

[kendell clark]

hi

Oh it didn't fix the bug where orca wasn't detecting the display after 
it was plugged in, it just worked again once I restarted brltty and 
orca, whereas it wouldn't work with the built version. I'll test again, 
it's definitely possible I was reading the revision number, and wasn't 
sure what I was reading lol. That was probably it now that I think about it.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
