Greetings,
I have recently been working at getting my braillenote set up as a braille display with Ubuntu (7.10 gutsy).  I have the brltty checkbox marked in the services manager (located under the administration menu item on the top bar).  But brltty doesn't seam to be starting correctly.

A: when the computer gets to the login prompt, instead of the drum-beat, the computer beeps (sounds like the system beep; ASCII character 7).

b: to initiate brltty I still have to login as administrator and run "sudo brltty" from the command prompt.

Is there a way to get brltty to start automatically so I don't need to login as administrator and logout/login as non-administrator to use brltty under my non-administrator account?  (I'm still aclimmating to linux/ubuntu and I like to do most of my work as non-administrator for my own protection.)  It's not a major issue (the process does result in a working brltty), but it'd be just that much more convenient to login straight away under the account I'm going to use.

thank you:-)
