[BRLTTY] Using Seika 40 braille display under Ubuntu

[Michel such]

Hi Dave,

I am a very new Ubuntu user.

Currently, I run it using Orca/Espeak as accessibility tool.
I Can't even figure out how to get on a text console with ORCA.
So, my question would be which steps should I complete to install a new brltty from repository?

  Yes, but I believe you'll need a newer release of brltty than Ubuntu currently 
  has. Your best alternative, if you don't mind it, is to build the latest 
  development release from the repository.

  Yes, this can be done on Linux too. In fact, I suspect it'll happen 
  automatically as soon as you connect the Seika. You should get a device name 
  like ttyUSB0.
