Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca Errors-To: speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca X-BeenThere: speakup@braille.uwo.ca X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.4 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: When I originally compiled my 2.4.5 kernel with speakup patched in using cvs, I chose my synthesizer in make config and also chose "y" for the speakup keymap as default. My keyboard worked fine, nothing unusual. However, when my console-tools package was upgraded, I got the message "looking for keymap to install: none". I wondered about that but didn't do anything about it since the keyboard was working. However, I have now also done a 2.4.5 kernel without speakup, for using emacspeak by itself, for experimenting with festival, etc. When I booted with this new kernel, I immediately discovered that my "alt" key isn't working correctly. This is evidenced by the fact that I have to use escape instead of alt in emacspeak to enter a command. Also I don't appear to be able to change consoles with alt-function keys. Do I have to somehow install another keymap? And do I have to do something more about the speakup keymap, since console-tools isn't finding any keymap? I also had speakup and non-speakup versions of 2.2.19 kernel and never had this problem before. Cheryl
