optional.
Thus, from my thoughts:
braille-device ttyS0 # works
braille-device serial:ttyS0 # works
braille-device serial: # doesn't work
I've installed ubuntu 10.04 with brltty 4.1 and when I write
braille-device serial:
it doesn't work.
But as Dave said, serial: should also work too.
What is the right answer? Is there a misunderstanding from mine?

Thanks.
Best regards,

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!
