You are correct - thank you very much!
Now the braille display works in the GUI with Orca, too.

I do need to start "xbrlapi -d :1" manual to get the dot-keys, space and 
right rocker bar working. But then, DOT7 for backspace and DOT8 for 
Enter still don't work.

Could this be because Fedora detects the Focus 40 as a Focus 3?

Thanks again,
Frans-Willem
