if you on Arch Linux. you need to desable brltty starting in X11.
to do that: edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90xbrlapi
make it:
# startup script for /etc/X11/Xsession.d
prefix="/usr"
exec_prefix="${prefix}"
program_directory="${exec_prefix}/bin"
xbrlapi="$program_directory/xbrlapi"
if [ -x "${xbrlapi}" ]; then
  "${xbrlapi}" 2>/dev/null
fi

then relogin.
