Yes. Brltty looks at what's currently on the screen. Whatever is on the screen 
when brltty gains access to the braille device will be immediately visible on 
the braille device. If the user uses shift + page up/down to scroll the screen, 
that'll work, too.

Yes, that should work, except that udev itself may need a bit of asynchronous 
startup time. Perhaps the "udevadm settle" command would be useful for this 
situation.
