[BRLTTY] Focus 40 Blue Suppport

My display is connected by USB. I've tried discunnecting it and pressing different things, including the power buton.  After I turn off the computer and reboot things are normal. The reboot must 
send something special. I am using the brltty release used in Vinux 4.0. I'm not sure of the release number? Is there a way to find it after boot-up?

I don't think I have a text configuration file. Why isn't the setting in the preferences menu permanent?

Thanks,
John
