No, it wasn't. I installed BRLTTY with this command, and:

1) It still reports "no screen".

2)  Every time I connect my braille display using USB, it starts a
    new BRLTTY instance. I cannot use BrlAPI applications with this instance.

3) It changes permissions of /dev/hidraw* and /dev/uinput so that BRLTTY can
access these devices, but BRLTTY does not need access to these devices on my
system.

I believe the problem is not solved by BRLTTY's udev rules, because these
rules don't change permissions of the /dev/tty0 device which BRLTTY needs for
accessing the console.

Also I wonder whether there is a better way to give BRLTTY accewss to devices
than changing the permissions of the device node. Changes to device
permissions will last even if BRLTTY is stopped. In case system user IDs
change (e.g. due to package removals/installs) it may be that some process
unintentionally gains access to some devices.
