You need to log into tty2, or is tty2 a free console, a login prompt, or what?

I think I'm misunderstanding because this seems to contradict the previous statement. I'm understanding, from this one, that you can log in as any non-root user on any other tty and tty2 works as your virtual braille display.

>If I start brltty as root, no matter what, I don't get an output in
>/dev/tty2.

Does the log contain any errors? Perhaps you need to use -ldebug.
