[BRLTTY] Use BRLTTY under Windows 7 with Virtual Braille device

That won't do what you might be expecting. Do you have an actual braille 
device? If so, then you need to select the driver for it. If not, then you 
should probably select the xw driver, which will open a window with a virtual 
graphical braille display in it.

>The BrlAPI service is running but nothing is visible on my screen.

Using the xw driver should do what I think you're wanting to do.

>Is there any checklist to know all the parameters I need to make it working

No, because the defaults usually do the right thing. In your case - not having 
an actual braille device - try using the xw driver.

>How the "brltty.conf" file is taken into account by Brl API ?

The BrlAPI server (within brltty) uses it, but the BrlAPI client library does 
not.
