I've tried pressing the ... I think it's the scrole lock. I cant remember the name of the button. sorry. it's late. it's the third button in from the top row on the right. that says you killed speakup. then I press insert and enter and it says you turned me off but when I'm in gnome and I'm using orca keystrokes speakup starts talking again. I don't want to unlode speakup from memory as I often go back to a console to continue working on other things so I would really like to know how to just temporarily stop it. Or maybe I do need to completely unlode the module. but, how do I do this without needing a reboot to get it working again? using modprobe speakup_apollo doesn't work after using the command rmmod. now, I may have that rmmod command wrong. It's been some time since I used it and as I said, it's late and I'm probably not thinking as clarly as usual. Thanks in advance.
