That's my error. :-) I was expecting English, so, when I read it quickly, my 
brain must've made "corrections" for potentially missing and/or extra dots.

>The display has only a USB connector. 

Okay, the ttyUSBn devices would be the right ones to use.

That makes sense.

Then it should work equally well with brltty. Can you run with:

   -ldebug          (to log extra stuff)
   -e               (to write logs via standard error)
   2>/path/to/file  (to redirect standard error to a file)

Then please post the log so we can have a look at it.
