I am putting Debian Sarge on a new system here, and am starting with the "speakup26" boot choice, which installs a speakup modified 2.6.8 kernel initially. But on my system, the mark/cut/paste feature locks up the computer requiring a hard reset to recover. Pressing 'mark' works fine, but moving the cursor to the other end of the desired string and pressing 'cut' kills the system. Actually I don't know exactly what gets killed, but there is no more speech, and the keyboard is unresponsive. Has anyone else performed this installation? Was your experience the same or different? I plan to replace 2.6.8 with 2.6.11 pretty quickly, but if there is a quick fix to tide me over I would appreciate knowing about it.
