>Is this a problem that has a known fix?

I know of no problems with BRLTTY's Linux screen driver at the moment. So, no, 
there'd be no known fix.

>Fedora is packaging brltty-5.5-8.fc27.x86_64. 

That's our latest production release, so at least the latest code is being 
used.

>There are a couple of trivia patches. One to fix an include path, the other 
>for java.

Could you please send me them so that we can apply them?

>Nov 18 14:29:32 localhost.localdomain brltty[833]: console control error 5: 
>fd=8 vt=1 op=0X5603: Input/output error

Please run brltty with these extra lines in brltty.conf (and, of course, send 
me the log):

   log-file /path/to/logfile
   log-level debug,scrdrv

Is brltty running as root?

What happens if brltty is started (as root) after logging in? If you test this, 
take care that the system brltty is stopped as two of them going after the same 
device isn't a good idea.
