Hi Frank, thanks for responding to my problem. I tried your suggestion of setting the trigger time to 20 but that didn't seam to make any noticable improvement. Below is a listing of my values in /proc/speakup/accent_sa. Could you please tell me if any other value looks way out of wack? delay_time:400 full_time:1000 jiffy_delta:3 queued_bytes:0 sent_bytes:0 trigger_time:20 version:Version-0.14 These settings with the exception of trigger_time are the "out of the box" defaults. I had speakup installed when I was running a 2.2 kernel as well and I still had the delay issue when executing certain review functions... thanks On Mon, 4 Feb 2002, Frank Carmickle wrote: >I don't know why your having this trouble.

You may want to look at the value of trigger_time in >/proc/speakup/acntsa. 20 is about the right value. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMERGED IN THE 6o4 AREA CODE A proud user of the LINUX Operating System! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
