Hi Gena: As I mentioned to Robby check your install.log in your speakup directory and see if everything patched correctly. If this is two occurrences of this situation we need more info because so far we haven't seen anything like this. Hi Kirk Well I've been using the kernel after rebuilding the kernel after hard wiring the ps2 support into the kernel. I only mentioned it because it might help the fellow and to clear speakup's name. It's not speakup's problem. I thought I made it perfectly clear, it's because it didn't load the ps2 module at boot up.
