[BRLTTY] BRLTTY appears severely broken

[Rob Hudson]

Using BRLTTY 6.8 on arch linux with systemd version 258.11
First of all, on my lightdm login screen, it now says, no screen. However, I don't have orca speaking, either, so this is probably a lightdm issue.
However, on the arch iso, latest version archlinux-2025.11.01-x86_64, I have no braille either; it says, no screen, at the prompt. If I was strictly a braille user, I would not be able to use BRLTTY to do anything, here.
In addition, once logged in to my installed system, and I try to switch to a console, nothing changes on my braille display. It simply shows the last thing orca sent it.
I took the udev rules from BRLTTY 6.7 and put them in /etc/udev/rules.d and reloaded udev. No change.
What has been so severely broken in BRLTTY these days to make it almost unusable?
