Hi, Is your braille display connected by usb? I had this problem one or two months ago with a focus braille display (connected by usb), and I think when ubuntu starts, it renames brltty.conf to brltty.conf.orig and replaces the brltty.conf you made with a version that is copied from a place I don't know. To solve this problem, I edited the /etc/init.d/brltty and I commented the lines that say to rename brltty.conf to brltty.conf.orig and copy the brltty.conf form a place I don't know to /etc. After this step, it may happen that brltty no longer starts up automatically. To solve this, I edited the file that controls the usb startup of brltty and I think it's on /udev/rules.. And when it appears one path for brltty executable, I replace this path with /bin/brltty. Maybe you don't need to do this second step, depending on whether brltty starts up automatically or not. Sorry for not being much rigorous, but I don't remember very well this second step because I didn't discover it alone and I don't have yet the knowledge enough to understand the startup process. After that, you can change brltty.conf and it will never be overwritten when you restart ubuntu.
I hope this helps.

I understand lesser and lesser: I did a cp of my orig brltty.conf to brltty.conf.orig and now there are only 3 lines in it, while brltty.conf~ (the bak version) still contains the content of the orig brltty.conf; and brltty.conf supposed to be the one and only good one, doesn't contain the 3 lines I need but only 2.
