I had this same problem and fixed it by upgrading kernels. I would uninstall the old kernel before installing the new one as that old one is very buggy compaired to today's kernels. 2.6.18 also supports lots more hardware or at least has better support then 2.6.8 You can add this lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file so you can use apt-get to download and install the kernel I am using the cut and paste commands to send you these lines, remember after adding them run apt-get update to allow apt-get to download the list of packages. deb http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel/ ./ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel/ ./ On Sun, 1 Apr 2007, Amanda Tink wrote: > Luke Yelavich wrote: > > There was a version of speakup that had this problem, with a particular > > kernel version.
