[BRLTTY] problem with preferences saving

[John Covici]

Well, I found out a couple of things -- I just did brltty -L
brltty.log -l debug  and  I got some prefs which were actually
correct.  I then went in and out of preferences menu and found out it
was saving them in /root/.config/brltty -- very strange.

So, I killed that process off and started brltty normally, except that
I put log-level debug in /etc/brltty.conf .  Looking at that, it was
saving to /root/.config/brltty .  So, I killed that and just put
log-level information in the brltty.conf and now it started writing to
my system log where it was not doing that before.  It did also give
the strange message
Jul 30 15:01:24 ccs.covici.com brltty[1277175]: Old Preferences File:
/etc/brltty-hw.prefs

which is not there, but it seems to be working now.  Very strange,
indeed.
