You have the problem of who gets the access to the braille display at
which time, which is solved by BrlAPI.

Merging suseblinux & brltty might be nice (merging the braille driver
databases and screen reading capability), but I'm not sure that either
party (Dave & Marco) want that.

And we (BrlAPI people) plan to try to add BrlAPI capability to
suse-blinux sometime, in which case it would be able to be used for
gnopernicus.
