[BRLTTY] Alva BC640 braille keyboard no worky

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Dave: That log output was exactly what brltty provided when using
both the inpkts and brlkeys flags to -l. I didn't modify it in any
way.

I don't know about hci or what the manual says because the manual
which came with the unit on it's build-in ramstick got blown away by
mistake quite a few years back so I don't actually have a manual for
the device.

I did have a weird experience which leads me to believe that it may
not be a hardware problem. I have been working on a contraction table
to provide mandarin pinyin with the english-us-g2 table because I've
been working on learning chinese. After exiting the preferences menu
to check for the existance of my table I hit the dot 1 key and an 'a'
showed up on the console. Then I hit dot's 1 and 2 and was rewarded
with a 'b'. Go figure. So I typed 'ls' on the braille keyboard and low
and behold got my directory listing but after that there were no more
key responses after the fact. Nothing. I've been kind of busy on
another project so haven't had a chance to do anything else with it
for a few days but thought I should report my strange experience.
