If so, I sure hope people get this moving. This is a major show stopper and serious impact and could really discourage new blind users to come over and try Linux. I'm very lucky that most of the laptop based speakup commands still work but try toggling the caps lock key sometime. Computer locks up every time. I'm on the newest kernel in Arch - 3.5.something.
