cut and paste still doesn't work?

[Adam Myrow]

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.
