hi all,

i use two kernels for emacspeak and for speakup. now, i think that when i use the standard nontalking kernel i am stuck with the speakup keymap. how can i use a standard keymap for the normal kernel and a speakup.map for the talking kernel?

thanks, saqib

This seems to be the same problem I am having.  If you are using debian,
it appears that the way console-common and console-tools now function is
causing this problem.  If you don't get an answer here, you might try
taking it to a debian list.  I actually did succeed in loading a keymap to
use with just emacspeak, but of course when I rebooted into my
speakup-using kernel the emacspeak-using kernel keymap loaded and I had to
find a speakup keymap to reload.  It seems to me that in the past the
keymap was loaded for whatever kernel you booted but now that has changed.

Hi,

I think that the easiest thing to do
would be to simply compile
the nontalking kernel from
a fresh source tree without speakup patched in.

In this case, at least in debian, that doesn't matter; we seem to be stuck
with whichever keymap was installed, be it speakup or another kernel.  I'm
sure there is a way around this, and will let somebody know if I find it
first.  I don't know what Saquib did but I did compile from a fresh kernel
tree without speaqkup compiled in.                              Cheryl

My keymap problem seems to have resolved itself; the right keymap seems to
be loading now with each kernel--at least the alt key is working in the
no-speech kernel that I load to use emacspeak alone.  My theory is that
something in one of the debian updates/upgrades fixed the problem.  You
especially might want to try it again, Saqib, if you've been doing regular
"apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" for your system.

thanks, could you please go over how you accomplished this? at the moment i
have /vmlinuz, /vmlinuz.speakup, and /boot/system.map. If I now add
/boot/speakup.map how do i go about telling linux which keymap is for which
kernel etc? thanks, saqib

hi,
does anyone know how you can use two different keymaps for two kernels? so that i can have a talking kernel with the speakup modified keymap and a nontalking kernel in which the numpad is free?
thanks, saqib
