OK, this is what I tested:

becoming su then
brltty -b al -d usb:
(not USB:)

IT WORX!

But when I put "usb:" asis without quotes in brltty.conf, Ubuntu still asks
me for pressing S / U / B / X while booting up, hm a very annoying problem
for a blind person.

But now brltty works again, even under Orca.

Yes, that's perfect except the question Ubuntu repeats at each reboot...

Yes, I confirm. 

Now I only have to resolve 2 problems:
puting another translation table in my config, no one line about it...
and the persistent question at boot time...

Thanx very much.
