No, not at all. It simply means we don't yet understand what's going on.

Not quite. The keyboard functions are mapped within the kernel and user space 
never sees them. Brltty uses a user-level kernel API which, ultimately, invokes 
the very same functions.

>A log will follow "short Lee."

I never shoot those who send logs. I look at the logs, even if I have 
preconceptions regarding what I expect. I'm always prepared for the unexpected.
