No, it isn't. It was fixed almost exactly a year ago. The fix is in brltty 5.4
for sure.

Not exactly. The tty device still needs to be opened in order to do things like
fetch the Unicode map.

There's another case where brltty needs to "see" a vt when it isn't open. For
example, a command can be run asynchronously in a free vt via the openvt
command. After the command finishes, the output remains on the vt's screen even
though the vt itself has been closed. The user needs to still be

I don't think it retries.

Do either of you know how often systemd-login retries, and how many times it
tries before giving up? What we could do is open the vt on demand, and then
close it after a timeout of non use.

As I understand it, X also wants a free vt. Why is it, then, that X is willing
to start on tty1 (at least on Fedora systems) even though brltty already has
tty1 op

Brltty could delay opening the tty until the user needs to inject a character.
This could be by typing on the braille device, by requesting cursor routing,

On which demand?
Whatever the timing, there is a risk that systemd-logind gets slow for
some reason, and not manage to start getty before brltty opening it.
One way could be for brltty
Hi:
We could open it on demand rather than immediately?
