I would like to elaborate on this if I can. I've been noticing lately a similar problem with loss of speech/feedback. for me it seems to happen if I mess with the newly restored cursoring toggle key. If I go into one of these fancy curses based programs like ncftp's bookmarks manager, alsamixer or whatever and then turn cursoring off, I can hear the menu or highlighted choices like we always used to but some how, after using speakup in this mode I'll later loos all feedback. I can read around manually as was mentioned below but I get no keyboard echo and no automatic speech of any new text placed onto the screen. The only way I've ever gotten full functionality back was to reboot the computer and keep my hands off the cursor toggle:). This is with a recent CVS version of speakup loading as modules on a 2.4.21 kernel. Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Wed Nov 12 15:52:50 EST 2003 synth spkout version 1.1 I'm glad this came up and further glad I'm not the only one to observe this:).
