Absolutely no, sorry.
Note: my ABT380 display is really serial, not serial to usb or so.
The desktop PC have only one serial slot.

Modified as I did (/dev/ttyS0) worked immediately, even after rebooting.

Yes I understand, but it isn't working/starting automatically.

Note: that Ubuntu o s is a Hardy migrated to Lucid,
but I can't imagine that there should be a buggy situation with brltty; if
it was so then even trying with /dev/ttyS0 hadn't worked, but it did it
right immediately!

Is there a way I can check out how does the /dev/*** (serial) connection is
made and if it's OK?
is it called /dev/serial or /dev/tty with no number or otherwise ?

I will ty with serial: again, adding ttyS0 as you suggest, and see if that
will work.
 
Feedback later today.
Have a pretty sunday!
