An external LiteTalk (ltlk) is all I'm using at the moment. I haven't really played around with the software synthesizer as yet, because it's so slow in Orca on my system. I'm running about as standard as "apt-get install" gets, beyond running speakupconf in /etc/rc.local and appending the speakup boot parameter in grub's menu.lst file. As stated in a previous post, the "more" pager problem is pretty easy to reproduce. As root in one console, run: # apt-cache search editor | more Mark and cut a package name, switch to another console, and as root, start running" # aptitude show <pasted-packagename> | more ...and after a few cuts and pastes, the problem should appear The first console will have the wrong text, or text from the second console will bleed over into the first console. I don't know if the problem lies with the 'more' pager, or with SpeakUP. I can only hear what SpeakUP is telling me without sighted assistance. HTH, Michael -- Linux User: 177869 Powered by Intel
