When I use speakup, it has its own keymap and that isn't a problem. However, I have been loaned a braillelite and am using that more than speakup; I also use emacspeak at times. My problem is that none of the keymaps I have loaded seems to be quite right. As far as I know I have a standard us qwerty keyboard; would be 100 or 101 keys, depending on whether or not you are supposed to count the space bar. On my system, I've tried the us international iso8859-1, whatever keyboard the kernel installed, the plain qwerty us keyboard, the us-latin and whatever default keymaps were in /etc (some of these are of course duplicates). I either get a keypad where the right alt doesn't work, so that i have to do left alt plus F-1 to change consoles; this keyboard also doesn't respond to singlekey with lilo; I have to hit enter in addition. But the numeric keypad works. My other choice seems to be a keyboard where the right alt key work, singlekey is functioning, but the numeric keypad doesn't work. How do I go about finding a qwerty keymap that works; I really can't imagine that I would have to define my own keymap for this keyboard but something certainly isn't right. there
