fedora/speakup/me doing something wrong?

[Steve Holmes]

I would like to elaborate on this if I can.  I've been noticing lately
a similar problem with loss of speech/feedback.  for me it seems to
happen if I mess with the newly restored cursoring toggle key.  If I
go into one of these fancy curses based programs like ncftp's
bookmarks manager, alsamixer or whatever and then turn cursoring off,
I can hear the menu or highlighted choices like we always used to but
some how, after using speakup in this mode I'll later loos all
feedback.  I can read around manually as was mentioned below but I get
no keyboard echo and no automatic speech of any new text placed onto
the screen.  The only way I've ever gotten full functionality back was
to reboot the computer and keep my hands off the cursor toggle:).

This is with a recent CVS version of speakup loading as modules on a
2.4.21 kernel.
Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Wed Nov 12 15:52:50 EST 2003 
synth spkout version 1.1

I'm glad this came up and further glad I'm not the only one to observe
this:).
