you probably didnt find it because you mis-spelled it.  brltty.  its installed by default in lucid.

brltty, brltty-X11  4.1-2ubuntu6

Oooh, I get it.  BRaiLle TTY.  That's where the L comes from.

Wow...that makes a lot more sense now.

Ah, I see. The i and l look similar on my box (must be my font or something).

Well, with some patches, the latest SVN of Gecko dotNET works fine from my testings. Then again, I'm not really an active hacker nor have I used the program much, so I can't say for sure that it works without too many extra bugs on the Mono side.

Also: I still don't have /dev/ttyUSB0 on my box. It sounds like a hardware specific thing, so I'm afraid your workaround seems to only work for you. I'm not sure if using /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy (xxx  = bus number, yyy = device number) would work in place, but then you'd have to change it each time you plug in the USB Gecko (it changes everytime for me).

So: I'll study up on udev rules and try to make one that works for Ubuntu and hopefully other distros as well. That'll solve the whole root thing.

Is there anything else about running this on Mono that needs to be addressed?
