Redhat 7.2 and Speakup

Thu Jan 31 21:27:25 EST 2002

Hi,

     Since you mentioned compiling the kernel, I'm going to guess that you 
have an off the shelf version of rh7.2.  If so, from a command prompt, as 
root, do: chkconfig --level 12345 keytable off
That will fix it for the next time you boot.  For the current session, go 
to the drivers/char/speakup directory in your kernel source.  Then do: 
loadkeys speakupmap.map

          HTH.
