I should double check it is working yes.

They do, computer braille works.

Again, not sure how to do this, maybe the braille monitor may help as if
it displays the dots it may eliminate brltty, but then again it may
not...

Here is my brltty log when I tried orca with grade 2.

Do you see anything in here to worry about?

I saw a few warnings, so that's why I'm not confident brltty is working
100%...
