Hi another idea is if it could be done. Have speakup in some way find the x windows screen reader and start it. Also if the x window screen reader could talk to the speakup modgel. So if you started speakup with a dectalk express for example the screen reader would talk threw the dectalk express. Also if you do not have access enabled speakup trying to start it would cause it to be turned on. Not sure if this is doable but it seems to me to be more helpful then just speakup going to sleep. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Sean Murphy Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 1:14 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Sleep functionality for Speakup with XWindow All. I would like Speakup to go into a sleep mode when you switch to a XWindow console. This sleep mode should tell speakup not intercept any keystrokes or speak. Once you move back into the text console, speakup automatically comes alive. This would resolve problems with key conflicts with XWindow screen readers and speakup trying to read XWindow screens. I don't want to have to kill the module for Speakup everytime I have to go into XWindow. Xwindow is an up coming option for everyone. So lets put in the ability of doing this.
