If you are using the source tarball, you should follow the directions in the README in the main directory of the tarball after opening it. I don't think you actually have to edit any of the source files if you're using version 3.0 or beyond; the latest is 3.2. I use the braillelite40 and my brltty.conf has braille-device /dev/ttyS0 braille-driver bl speech-driver bl text-table text.us.tbl Yours of course may not be identical. My braillelite is set to 9600 baud; I don't know for sure at this point if that is the default for brltty or if brltty now automatically detects this. If you have your brltty.conf, and are using the source tarball, you should just be able to run ./configure make make install and type brltty as root and have it work. You can also get it fixed up to start when booting; read the manual in the Documents directory for more information. I would recommend reaeding that manual anyway. If, on the other hand, you are using a debian package or redhat rpm, follow the instructions with those. a lot of people on the blinux list use brltty and the maintainer of brltty, Dave Mielke, is also on that list.
