cut and paste still doesn't work?

cut and paste still doesn't work?

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. I tried using numpad slash and numpadins numpad slash but all that
did was write a bunch of slashes to my command prompt. Is there a way to
either tell bash to not treat the chars as part of a command or some kind
of command mode in speakup? Thanks!

Ohh! Umm. Well, ermm...What version of Speakup are you using? 

Did 1.0 have the cut and paste in it? I don't recall. ... You might
have to get the CVS version and patch a new kernel. ...

Hi. I have Speakup 1.00. I patched it into my 2.4.18 kernel, so I would
assume that it has cut and paste, but this could be only available in the
cvs version, which I don't have. In other words, I answered y to the
build_default_keymap option in the kernel configuration.

Are you using at least Speakup 1.0?  That's the latest stable version.  If
so, are you, perhaps, loading a keymap from an older version over the one
that has cut and paste in it?  This will happen if you previously used
something like 0.10 and upgraded.  In that case, find the script that
loads your keymap and determine where the keymap is.  Replace the keymap
with the one in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup/speakupmap.map.  Hope
this helps.  By the way, this is a problem on Debian stable as well as it
was modified with an older Speakup.  Good luck.

Hi Adam. I wouldn't think that this was the case since I completely
scrapped any trace of my old configuration. But the old keymap could still
be loading right now and I don't know about it? The reason why I don't
think this is likely is because I patched speakup-1.00 into the kernel,
with no reference to the old speakup 0.10 that I had back when I ran the
2.2.18pre21-idepci for a day or two. The only reference I found to keymaps
was in /etc/init.d/keymaps-lct.sh. This script seems to be just concerned
with loading kernel keymaps, not speakupmap.map.

Hi Igor,
What keymap did you use?  In some distributions, they are actually 
expecting the keymap to be GNU zipped.  E.g. in Redhat the anme of the 
Speakup keymap is speakup.kmap.gz.  Regardless, make sure you are using 
the keymap that came with Speakup 1.00 or the CVS version--not something 
earlier.

Hi Jim. I believe I'm using the 1.0 keymap, because that is the version
that is patched into the 2.4.18 kernel that I am currently using.

Re: cut and paste still doesn't work?

Yes, but that keymap script could be overriding the keymap you compiled
into the kernel.  I'd do a "chmod -x" on it and reboot to see what
happens.  Both Debian and Redhat have given me fits with this.  I had a
normal Redhat distro with Speakup patched in and even when I disabled
keytables, it still loaded a keymap that completely overwrote my Speakup
one.  With Debian, it loaded a keymap from 0.10 over the compiled in one
even in the Speakup modified one.  With Slackware, it doesn't load a
keymap unless you tell it to.  That's what I like about Slackware that
others hate.  It gives you a shell and says "have fun!"  I prefer this
because I can tune things just how I like.  I've got a fast-booting
Slackware system that makes even other Linux users surprised.  Oh well,
enough on distributions.  Hope you're able to figure it out as that copy
and paste is the best thing to ever be added to Speakup!  As a side note,
Jaws for Windows had this feature in 3.0, but they foolishly removed it in
later versions!  I sure miss it as you could cut and paste error messages
that even sighted people couldn't.  Hooray for Speakup!
