Maybe you got no responses so far because this is the orca list, not
the BRLTTY list.

This is no good idea, since Ubuntu has its own places where services
are started.
How do you confirm, that your braille display is not recognized? Does
it stay blanc or can you read "screen not in text mode"?

Have you already looked into your BRLTTY-configuration, located in
/etc/brltty.conf? Maybe the values have changed there during your
update.

Do you need brltty-x11?

I don't think so. If BRLTTY has already run with your display, it will
again.
