List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hey, Kirk: I wonder if the problem I ran into has anything to do with speakup's new changes, or the 2.4.18 kernel? Yesterday afternoon I used cvs to patch a freshly downloaded 2.4.18. There were no errors, but when I booted my numeric keypad was very messed up. Screen review was sporadic--and seemed only to work, if it worked at all, with numlock off. When numlock was on, pressing the number keys on the numeric yielded numbers, but it yielded the wrong numbers, e.g. when I pressed 4, I heard 7. These numbers also became part of my command line. Needless to say, I left 2.4.18 for my older reliable kernel!
