[BRLTTY] URG: Optelec

[Michael Whapples]

I am not fully sure but this seems to make sense to me: does brltty 3.10 
actually support the optelec BC640 display? The message saying that the 
USB is connected and it showing up with lsusb simply means that the USB 
system has detected a device but it doesn't mean it has a driver to make 
proper use of the device.

As said you need a later version, I am running a debian unstable package 
of brltty 4.1, so if you don't want to install from source then try that 
package.
