Hi Very interesting! I've had similar behaviour that you describe but it's not from the new kernel of 2.4.18 nor the newest speakup. I'm using 2.4.17 and it seems ages since I patched the kernel. I'd patch the UK keyboard map with the speakup map and after running an apt-get update then upgrade, I had these problems. Therefore, could it be related to the keymap? Just a thought.
