[BRLTTY] no input from braille keys under some conditions

	hello.  While I'm not familiar with the specifics of Linux on the
Raspberry Pi, what you're experiencing sounds like a classic problem of
timing when things come up.  I wonder, for example, if when brltty is
started by the boot process, if it's coming up before the USB subsystem is
fully initialized.  What happens if you introduce a 10 second sleep before
you start brltty at boot time?  Is the behavior still the same?
-thanks
