Am I understanding correctly that this means that you're running Debian within a virtual machine that's runing on a Mac OS host?

If so, this is a configuration that I myself know very little about. What I'm sure of, though, is that you'll need to be very careful about how you forward the host device through to the virtual machine. This'd be true, I'm sure, for both USB and Bluetooth.

Can you capture a brltty debug log so that we can see what's happening from brltty's perspective? Use the -L (uppercase) option to specify the file in which brltty should write the log. Use the -l (lwoercase) option to tell brltty what to log.

For USB, specify: -ldebug,usb,brldrv

For Bluetooth, specify: -ldebug,bt,brldrv

You can attach the logs to your reply to this list.
