>dot 2: 2 (produced number 2)
>dot 3: к (produces cyrillic small letter ka, that is, dots 1 and 3)
>dot 7: А (produces cyrillic capital letter a, dots 1 an 7)
>dot 4: ц (produces cyrillic small letter se, dots 1 and 4)
>dot 5: е (produces amll cyrillic ie, dots 1 and 5)
>dot 6: ё (produces cyriilic small letter io, dots 1 and 6)
>dot 8: a (produces latin small letter a, as you can see)

On line 25 of Programs/driver.c you should find the following code:

   static int logInputPackets = 0;

Please change the 0 to 1 and rebuild brltty. Then run brltty with these 
additional options:

   -n -e -ldebug 2>brltty.log

-n keeps brltty in the foreground. You can use CTRL-C to kill it.
-e logs to standard error rather than to the system log.
-ldebug logs as much information as possible.
2>brltty.log redirects standard error to a file.

While brltty is running, press each of the keys, by itself, in a known order. 
Then please attach the resulting log file along with the order in which the 
keys were pressed. IT'd be helpful if you were to press more than just the dot 
keys.
