[orca-list] problems with brltty, please help

[Rusty Perez <rustys lists gmail com>]

Hi folks,
I'm running ubuntu 13.4 and orca.
I just received, and connected a usb to rs232 dongle and connected my
BrailleNote.
The brltty config file has been edited to tell the system to connect
to the serial port via usb.
I have told orca to use braille. But orca doesn't come up with braille support.
If I gho into a terminal and type brltty it seems to run, but there is
no braille.
Then I do a
sudo killall -9 brltty
and
sudo brltty -d ttyUSB0 -b bn
And only then do I get braille output.

I may be leaving something out here, but, Can someone help me figure
out why I'm not getting braille on orca/gnome  startup, and why the
normal brltty command doesn't work?

I'm being helped along by a friend, and we're mistified.
Thanks!
Rusty
