-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On January 27 the following note appeared describing a modification to speakup in the CVS archive that might just solve the USB keyboard problem that has been discussed here. The comment was as follows: "Also speakup_quiet=1 or true or yes to allow speakup to boot as if you held the shutup key for autobooting and will start talking only when a key is touched." So check the date of your speakup version. If it is later than Jan 27, you should be able to add that parameter to your lilo append statement, or to your grub boot= option.
