And maybe you don't need to. I just mentioned that the run-brltty script takes the same options as brltty in order to describe it.

>So I am not sure what I should give it for a Orbit reader 20 (Not plus).  Or an Orbit Reader 40.

Brltty has (hopefully) sensible defaults. One of those defaults is to autodetect the braille device that you're using.

>Can you send me what the lines should look like for those two?

If you want to be explicit: The Orbit Readers use the Baum driver, so that'd be -bbm. If it's connected via USB then that'd be -dusb: (yes, the trailing colon is required). As I've already mentioned, though, you shouldn't need to.

A couple of options you may want to know about are the ones used for logging. There's -L (uppercase) to specify the log file, and there's -l (lowercase) to specify what to log. You may wish to use these to look for problems. If you'd like more than the usual logs then you can use, for example, -ldebug.
