If you have a USB Braille display, Brltty should start when the display is
connected, either at boot, or when you connect the display after the system
has booted. The RUN_BRLTTy option is for those who may have a particular
BrlTTy configuration and are using a display connected via other means,
i.e bluetooth or serial port etc. Right now, its easy to enable the systemd
service and use the /etc/default/brltty file, but for future releases, that
may change to simply using the systemd service, and disabling it by default.
