A few days ago, I discovered that when I ran speakup and brltty together, the flow of information when doing something like a kernel build or update or anything that meant a lot of info coming through rapidly would stop in brltty (with braillelite 40 on first serial port). speakup, as a software module, was unaffected. at first I thought it had something to do with using speakup modules, but today I realized brltty was doing the same thing with ltlk compiled into the kernel. Data continues to flow through the braille display if I press a key on the keyboard; this can be control or alt as well as other keys. Has anybody else experienced the problem? -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
