Gnopernicus, brltty and debian

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

I am using the unstable version of Debian and kernel version 2.6, brltty 
3.7.2-3.1 and gnopernicus 1.0.5-1.
I am getting no response from the braille display when I type startx other 
than "screen in not in text mode".  The braille display is an Alva abt34d 
which works fine with brltty at the console.  Any ideas of what might be 
wrong and how to solve it?  I followed the instructions on the brltty site 
for setting up gnome.
