hi Unfortunately this doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. When I build brltty and then start it, after the brltty version 5.4 etc message, what looks like 445426 appears on the display for about 3 seconds, followed by the "screen not in text mode" message. This is with plugging in the display after orca has started to test the patch. In order to fix it I had to reinstall the packaged version of brltty, and then restart both brltty and orca, and braill works again. Thanks Kendell Clark
