speakup "remembers" old screen

[Garrett Klein]

Hi John,

I've had that experience while booting Gentoo. For example, I'll hear
"starting sshd... okay." but see "Phase 0: replay journal log" or
"filesystem is clean" when I do speakup-3 on the num pad. Other than
that, I have no clue except maybe your video card redraws the "display"
very slowly.
