I designed the keymapping to emulate the numeric keypad layout for the most part. David Borowski integrated it into the speakup patches and Kirk included it with them in CVS speakup.

When you compile a kernel with speakup there should be an executable
called genmap created in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup. Use this
program as follows after you make the changes you want to
speakupmap.map.

./genkey speakupmap.map >/proc/speakup/keymap

This should update the keymap in the currently running speakup. What I
have done is to write a keymap to /etc/speakup/ and then used
speakupconf to load and save it. Since I haven't done this in a while
standard disclaimers apply, YMMV, Etc.
