Hello all, Just to let you all know, I am not having the keyboard issue with 2.6.25 that I did with 2.6.24.4. Using a venilla kernel, I patched the latest Speakup Git image in, copied .config from 2.6.23 source tree, compiled Speakup, the ltlk and softsynth synthesizers into the kernel, and it is all working just fine. Thanks, Robby
