The lowercase -x option is used to select the screen driver. For example: -xa2

The uppercase -X option is used to set a screen driver parameter. For example: -Xa2:type=terminal

>as a unpriviliged user in the mate terminal  I get neither braille nor speech output :-(. 

Especially if you're using a USB braille device, you might want to try invoking brltty as root. A debug log would show what the actual problem is. For that, you can use the -L (uppercase) option to specify the log file. For example: -L/path/to/brltty.log
