Hi, I am not sure that this question really concerns brltty but anyway maybe somebody can help me !
I try to plug my alva satellite 570 on the usb port and it does not work. More precisely when having plugged the braille device and set the power on with the switch I issue the command : /sbin/brltty --braille-device=usb -b al and nothing append. When looking at the kernel log file I find a message from brltty saying the no /dev/usb can be found. Sure none exists ! and that's why I suspect that the error does not come from brltty but perhaps from udev. Indeed when plugging and switching on the braille display nothin occurs in the /dev directory and no event is recorded in the hotplug/events file. However : 1. In the kernel log file there is a message saying that an usb hub is found. 2. My alva is transparent ! i.e. when I plug an other usb device on the usb port of the alva the latter appears corectly, i.e. is mountable and files which are on it are accessible. Short system description : brltty version is 3.7 (sorry for the brltty developpers but I would not like to upgrade it absolutely since I slightly customized the key bindings in my brltty and it is a little work anytime I upgrade it !) But if I should ! Kernel is 2.6.11.12 udev version is 056. I suspect that a udev rule is missing but which one ! Since now I was using the serial port but it becomes more and more obsolete and some machines does no longer have serial ports !
