Hello,

oh, I didn't realize that. Sure, I'll keep the list in CC.

Yes, we're passing the USB device through. This is possible by 
downloading and compiling a kernel module available on SourceForge (yes, 
this is the official VMware documentation).

Attached are the logs, copied from /tmp/brltty.log (I enabled the 
corresponding config first). I hope this brings us any further.

Kind regards, Julian
