This brings up an interesting idea. What if one had a machine that was being shared with sited users and he wanted to kill the speakup keys so the numpad would be available for its original functions. I believe that speakup patches the original keyboard defines, if I'm not mistaken. Could we some how keep a generic linux keyboard around and simply use loadkeys to switch keyboard defs in and out? Of course, speakup would have to be compiled into the kernel and all that good stuff. Would something like this work? -----Original Message----- From: Frank Carmickle [mailto:frankiec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 11:29 AM To: speakup mailing list Subject: Re: alturnate keypad for speakup On Wed, 20 Jun 2001, Raul A.
