Does your /etc/modules.conf (/etc/modprobe.conf for newer kernels) contain the
correct "alias usb-controller" directive for your system?

>what is wrong?

What errors is BRLTTY reporting within your system log (usually
/var/log/messages)?

>I have also specified usb as the output port.

Specify (without the quotes) "usb:" rather than "usb", i.e. there needs to be a
trailing colon.
