Well, is brltty running.
Connect it and then run
'brltty'If it doesn't work then use the -b option and give the argument 
for your display:
brltty -b bn
is for braille note for example.

Then use -d which is device:
ttyS0 is serial port 0, so just look in /dev and see what your display is 
listed under...
Not sure if dmesg will tell you much...

I'm not, but since orca talks to brltty if you have it working with brltty 
you just need to tick the braille enable check box in orca...
