The problem is that you can't let both brlttys use the same device at
the same time. You have to turn one of them off and switch back & forth,
which is tedious. Or use another braille device, which is expensive.
With a virtual braille device everything should work smoothly, just like
for other devices (video board, mouse, keyboard, ...)
