Try the following start command from the prompt:
brltty -b bm -d ttyUSB0 -t de
Please read it carefully, because you must write it case sensitive.
Does this start your display?
If so, open /etc/brltty.conf with any editor and check it carefully in
order to adjust those parameters: braille-driver, braille-device and
text-table.
When you've done this,
brltty
without specifications should work.
In order to integrate it into your system's start up procedure write the
following:
update-rc.d brltty defaults
Note: You have to do all this as root.
