It should be when you are running under X.
OK.
$WINDOWSID is not set on my machine :-(, who sets it?
How are you running kvm? In the console? In X? In Wayland?
I run qemu in xfce4-terminal and don't use wayland.
I run qemu like this:
#!/bin/bash
export WINDOWPATH=${WINDOWPATH:+${WINDOWPATH}:}$WINDOWID
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -display curses \
-full-screen -m 4G -soundhw hda \
-usb -device usb-braille,chardev=char0 -chardev braille,id=char0 \
-drive file=myimage.img,if=virtio
tested with netinst iso as well.
I see no braille output.
MfG.

Re: using kvm with brltty
Hi Samuel,
I am confused a bit.
How does this work $WINDOWID is this an environment variable?
$WINDOWSID is not set on my machine :-(, who sets it?
Should your mentioned bug reported to upstream?

Hello,

Now I tried to use kvm to install a debian buster vm.
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -usb -usbdevice braille -cdrom debian...netinst.iso
.
qemu starts up and info usb in qemu console displays a braille device but
nothing was displayed on the connected braille display.
It seems a bug slipped in indeed for the non-sdl display case. You can
run
export WINDOWPATH=${WINDOWPATH:+${WINDOWPATH}:}$WINDOWID
before calling qemu-system-x86_64, and use -display curses, so the
braille input/output correctly gets routed through your terminal window.
