Okay, then it's the keyboard, which, of course, being a Mickeysoft product, I despise...Especially the Function key changer switch that keeps it's value when pressed, even after a power-off. I'm sure, like I've seen evidence of, that my keyboard is one of those ones with keystroke logging capabilities. The fact that it remembers that I've pressed that function key changing switch proves to me it contains non-volatile memory. > I'm using speakupconf in my debian system's /etc/rc.local without > problems, and it loads the settings just fine on startup as is. Hmmm. Well, I'll try deleting /etc/speakup and try it again. Maybe that'll work. TIA, Michael
