Hello! Why not useing suse-blinux? It supports nearly the same brailledisplays as brltty, but its more flexibele in handling. Its posible to build own profiles for reading out special screenattributes for every application that runs in textmode, you can use mbrola as softwarespeech or apollo and infovox as hardwaresynth for speechoutput (every synth, thats connected via serialcable can be added), xou can add own speechfilters and some brailledisplaies are detected automaticly during installation of the susedistro wich makes it posible to install and configure the system for blind people... I'm using suse-blinux for more than one year and I've not seen a better screenreader for linux...
