Sorry, but you are the only one, that has reported this "selection"
problem.
To Cheryl:
You can start up Hardy with the braille display by:
1. Following Christian's advice and 
2. Type in a text console:
sudo update-rc.d brltty defaults
If the system reports that there has already been set a startup link, do
the following:
sudo update-rc.d -f brltty remove
sudo update-rc.d brltty defaults
Read the screen echo. If the links have been set properly, do:
sudo reboot
Do you have braille now?
