-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As Chuck has pointed out, the keymap tutorial is out of date, and keymap.map has in fact been replaced by speakupmap.map. Also, the speakup+r key is in fact listed at the very bottom. The last time when I asked about this, and said I got no instructions, I did in fact try compiling genmap.c, but ran into problems doing so, which I don't remember anymore, but I'm sure I described them in that long ago post, which is probably still in the archives somewhere. Anyway, I've tried it again, and have gotten speakup+r working this time around. So, here's what I did; it's very simple really. 1. cd to /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup 2. If you have a recent version of speakup, speakupmap.map should already have speakup+r defined as the last line, so you shouldn't need to do anything. 3. Compile genmap.c by running: gcc -o genmap genmap.c 4. Generate the keymap, placing the output in a file called keymap in the current directory by running: ./genmap speakupmap.map >keymap 5. Finally, copy your new keymap to /proc/speakup/keymap by typing: cat keymap >/proc/speakup/keymap That's it, you should have speakup+r working now. There are a couple of questions that I have, that maybe someone can answer. 1. How do you stop speakup+r from reading? I thought it was done with the escape key, but both that, and speakup+r itself don't stop it. I had to finally use ctrl+c once I got to the end of the document in emacs, and I'm pretty sure that this isn't how it should be done, since that would have the probably unwanted side-effect of terminating the currently foreground application. 2. How do I preserve my keymap changes across reboots? Do I need a line in my boot scripts to copy it to /proc/speakup/keymap every time, or is there a more permanent way of doing this, such as including it in the kernel?
