These are now in the core repository on ArchLinux. If you're running Arch and you haven't upgraded, you might want to hold off on doing the upgrade. Downgrading to a 3.3.x kernel might be an option for people who have already been hit. Also, ArchLinux provides a package called linux-lts. This is an older kernel. Currently, that package is at version 3.0.4. So replacing linux with linux-lts might also be an option for some. Anyway, here's the problem. As soon as you use one of the Speakup review keys, the system locks up hard. This is even the case with numpad 0. I'm going to use git bisect to figure out which change causes the problem. Hopefully, I (or someone) can write a patch in the next few days. -- Chris
