Hi Bue: That can happen from a couple of situations. I am not sure about the ins-and-outs of Redhat 8.0 because Bill Acker takes care of our Redhat distribution. I suspect he'll have something to say on your problem as well. Are you using a speakup redhat kernel out of the box? In later kernels you can see the behaviour you're indicating because of a processor greater than a 686 of some ilk. If that happens to be the problem and I'm not convinced it is you can get around it by adjusting delay_time and jiffy_delta. The defaults for those values at the standard 100hz interrupt frequency is delay_time=500 and jiffy_delta=5. If you are running 1000hz jiffies then you need to increase jiffy_delta=50. Good luck and let us know. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
