I have added the #define DEBUG line to Programs/xbrlapi.c and built 
using ./configure; make; sudo make install;

I then had a hard time getting the newly installed BrlTTY running 
because of SELinux. Checked with "sudo setenforce 0", then it started 
normally.

After setting the SE-contexts of the following files and folders to 
match their neighbours, and "sudo setenforce 1", BrlTTY starts without a 
problem - at least according to journalctl.

/usr/bin/brltty*
/lib/brltty/*
/lib/libbrlapi.*

Now I'm trying to get xbrlapi up and running - but it does nothing. When 
I start it like this: "xbrlapi -n -v", watch that terminal and proceed 
to type in another terminal, I see nothing logged. Or typed. Nothing 
happens.

Can I somehow provide more info?

Thanks,
Frans-Willem
