Speakup bug in color identification

Speakup bug in color identification

[Adam Myrow]

Hi.  I have noticed a bug in CVS Speakup that causes it to claim that text 
is "black on black" when using the Speakup key + period to identify the 
color.  This is a minor annoyance.  It seems to pop up when part of a line 
is in reverse video.  I am using CVS from 5/1/06, with kernel 2.6.17.8. 
I attempted to patch a newer kernel, and the patch failed with vt.c.  Has 
that been addressed already as well?  Thanks.

Hi Adam:  I have been waiting to see just how long it took someone to
actually notice the bug.  It occured when Gille put the international
languages support into speakup quite a long time ago.  I have just not
taken the time to make the fix although I am aware of it's location.
I have been working with Daniel Drake to move speakup from cvs to git
and I will fix the colour problem once that is complete.  That is what
causes speakup to beep constantly when cursoring left and right also.
It continuely thinks the highlighting is changing because the colour
attributes are not getting stored.

What is git?  Do we use it like cvs?

I think it is another version control system.  I've heard a lot about
svn or subversion being better than CVS but the only other thing I know
about git is Elinks is managed under it.  Is git better than svn?

Help!!! Help!!!!

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey guys, I have a question for anyone who can answer it.  I have been
trying to install Fedora Core 3 for two days now, and am totally confused.
I spoke with Bill Acker on this problem, and was once able to get past, but
had to quit in the middle, and am stuck once more.  What is happening, is
that the installation seems to lock up at the disk testing screen.  I will
try to tab/alt+tab between OK and Skip, and get no where.  I had some
sighted assistance for a while yesterday, and found out that the problem
occurs whether speakup is loaded or not.  When speakup is loaded, it sends
my synthesizer (whether dec-talk express or Braille note) into space, and
will never quit talking until it reaches the OK or skip buttons for the disk
test.  Any one have any ideas?  I would greatly appreciate any help I can
get with this matter.  Here is my system config.
Processor: Pentium IV 2.8 GHZ Hyperthread on an Abit ai7 main board
1 GB RAM
AC97 based sound
Seagate 40 GB IDE hard drive
NVidia Geforce 4 video card.
  Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Thanks,


Guy

I used Fedora Core 3 for a few days in a class in June.  I can't tell
whether this is relevant to your problem, but it does seem the fourth iso
image was bad.  We downloaded it at least twice to be sure the problem
wasn't ours--as far as we could ever be sure of that.  As a result, of
course, we could not install everything, as I'd wished:  it took some trial
and error to install in such a way that we didn't need the fourth image.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, I don't think that's the problem,
since I can't even get to the partition screen half the time.  I could
definitely kick myself for having to quit when I did, especially since that
one time, I did make it to the partitioning screen.  I'm about to try a
fedora 5 install via telnet, and see if that works any better.

Thanks,


Guy
