YASR, unless it has changed recently, runs a subshell for its functionality, so unfortunately, there is no access to all virtual consoles or the login prompt. It may, however, be worth looking at SBL as a base for comparison, as it doesn't appear to run a subshell. I am, however, at least in my Knoppix Adriane virtual machine, noticing that the keymap doesn't appear to work in the non-Adriane console, although characters typed into that console do speak, and I would guess that new text that appears in this console would also be spoken. ~Kyle
