Just wondering.
You're suggesting the OP download and install brltty from brltty.com why? Has the fedora supplied
version proven not to work?
Apparently the Fedora package doesn't create a group needed by brltty (a capability added in 6.3).
The online docs mention a group with user-defined name (for access to a "key") as well as setgid.
I'm not sure if there is more than one group needed, or whether there are other constraints (values
less than 1000) so it is best to get groups set up by systemd.
The Fedora package may have been tested and only used system that already had the group(s) defined.
The brltty RPM has the "linux-screen" driver which provides the simplest useful configuration so a good
starting point.
I also notice that the number of packages supplied by brltty.com for each release are different than
that supplied in the fedora repo. Could that be significant in any way?
I also notice the brltty-xw package (XWindow driver for BRLTTY) but not sure what functionality or
purpose it serves. Or what, if any, problems would arise if not installed.
