>Are you able to build brltty in order to test possible fixes?

Actually, you mentioned, earlier, that you tried resolving your problem by building brltty so I think you can. I've created a new branch - hims-scroll - and would appreciate it if you could build brltty on that branch to see if your scroll keys now work. Please make sure that, after switching to the new branch, you do all the initial steps:

   make distclean
   ./autogen
   ./configure

Something to note is that you don't need to install the newly built brltty in order to test it. Instead, use the run-brltty script in the top-level directory. It takes exactly the same options as brltty itself and will run brltty from within your build tree.

Please, when you do the test, capture a log as before and post it so that I can have a look at it.
