Hi, I have probably found the culprit and it is not a Brltty problem. After some packages have been upgraded, my desktop session starts on virtual console 1. But Orca sends braille output to virtual console 7. When I switch to VT 7 I get correct output, so I am very sorry for making such mess. Now I know this is off topic, but does anyone know how to: a) convince GDM to start on VT7? B) Convince Orca to use VT1?
