That however doesn't mean, that we have to do that as well.
Is there a way to set this preference from the configuration? If not, could such a setting be added? That'd be enough for me. >>When I start my computer without a braille display, I find that BRLTTY is very >>unresponsive and does sometimes delay actions or doubles typed letters.

At the moment, I'm using many different braille displays and therefore this is not an option for me. How does the auto-discover work. Does it terminate to search for all possible devices after some time? Is it in the main thread?
