Which release of brltty has been installed. If you're not sure, run brltty with 
its -V (uppercase) option.

Please describe the changes you made, and, if possible, post a copy of the 
actual brltty.conf. This list accepts attachments.

>Do i have to add something else to the config file? 

Let's first see what the current file looks like.

>Does brltty not support the mentioned mini braille display (Baum Conny
51005261)?

Yes, brltty does support the MiniBraille. I'm not sure if the specific model 
needs any specialized support or not.

>I need this application as soon as possible, so can anyone help me to build up 
>a driver for this device?

Let's first see why the current driver doesn't appear to be working. I rather 
doubt that a whole new driver will be necessary.
