Hi It's a while since I did this, but my recollections are: 1. cd /path-to-keymaps 2. cp keymap.map.gz speakup.map.gz This just backs up your chosen keymap to a speakup keymap. Then: 3. gunzip speakup.map.gz 4. Download ftp://ftp.braille.uwo.ca/pub/speakup/generic-speakup.map to your home directory. 5. cat ~/generic-speakup.map >>speakup.map 6. gzip speakup.map 7. rm -f ~/generic-speakup.map So you download the file generic-speakup.map which contains only the Speakup-specific keys, and then add this to the end of your Speakup map. Now you can just specify speakup.map.gz in your rc.local file. Hope this works, and let me know in either case!

The kernel starts and speakup works. I use slackware 8.0. In the rc.local i load the kyboarddriver for germany latin1-de-nodeadkeys and after that the generic.map, so i can use the nummeric keys. That works fine with kernels 2.2.20 and 2.2.25, but with the 2.4.20 kernel if have a other keyboard layout. If i press the "5" on the nummeric-keyboard, speakup says one line above (same as before "7" with kernel 2.2.25). "2" goes lft one word, "6" goes down one line and so on. What can i do, so that i become back the original keymap for speakup "7" up one line, "8" actual line, "9" down one line, and so on. Reguards.
