Well, yesterday I was told by a former SuSe SysAdmin that SuSe had
included braille autodetection at booting time when you want to install
it :(

He said "if you have some special hardware attached to your computer the
installation would autodetect it"

Anyways, I am very glad Ubuntu is also considering this as one of the
key features.
