The problem would be that brltty needs to do a bit more checking in order to
more accurately detect that type of braille display. Right now it's just
checking the vendour and product ids. It should probably also be checking other
things like the product and/or manufacturer names. We'll have to check one of
those displays to see what it takes to uniquely identify it.

That being said, brltty doesn't ever start itself just out of nowhere. In this
particular case it'd be the Debian udev rules which are doing it. In this
user's case, therefore, the temporary solution is to remove the brltty udev
rules from his system.
