Hmm interesting. Although if that were entirely the case, wouldn't I have speech once I got my login prompt? Bc once speech had stopped by itself I couldn't login at all. In fact, I figured 
out that I had no keyboard access at all...Or did it appear that way bc Speakup expected the Keyboard driver to load at a certain point and it didn't? Hmm I remember a patch to some Makefile I 
think that fixed this...Does anyone remember what its called/which Makefile was patched? Thanks!
