Sorry, Dave, was sleepy this morning, apparently. I actually sent logs to
/brltty.log, not /brltty.conf. And it was brltty.log that I shared with you.

I suspected this might be a starting too early issue. Let me experiment
after some afternoon meetings with the additions you proposed to the service
unit file and see if that helps. If not, yes, I'm happy to patch my source
and rebuild.

Stay tuned,
Keith

Unless the above is a typo, it's saying that you're writing the log into 
brltty's configuration file.

It must be starting too early.

We had a case where brltty was starting too early, and this is what we now 
specify:

   DefaultDependencies=no
   After=local-fs.target
   Before=sysinit.target
   Wants=systemd-udev-settle.service
   After=systemd-udev-settle.service

>Logs are below.

That log is indeed vague. Are you able to rebuild your brltty if I send you
a 
patch to one of its source files?
