[BRLTTY] BRLTTY appears severely broken

[Pranav Lal]

Rob,

I am on arch linux and am not seeing this. What braille display do you have?
What is your software stack like?

I am running arch linux bare metal with wayland, gnome and mate installed.

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?
