I don't know what these drivers are doing. doesn't brltty something 
which these drivers are able to do? I also don't know if we are able 
to use brltty's tables. actually the nvda drivers could also use 
brltty's tables. couldn't they? because the translation into braille 
seems the same. they seem not to be device specific.

some conflict happened over here with something.
