My use of gnome/orca has been very preliminary, but if you kill speakup
with the print screen key in tty7, you should have orca speaking by
itself without problems. As for the cli, orca does well enough in xterm
windows as far as I could tell, so you shouldn't need speakup. Of course, you still have
consoles 1-6 in which you can use speakup at the command-line. Hth.
