I think you'll find that orca is slower in general than the text console, that's at least been the case for me. The combination of espeak/espeakup in the text console is actually very snappy. You shouldn't project your results with espeak/espeakup, based on your results with orca, especially without trying espeakup/espeak first. > As stated in a previous post, the "more" pager problem is pretty > easy to reproduce.

Exactly how many cuts/pastes? I just tried the procedure you described on my system, doing 3 mark/cut/paste operations on 3 package names which I fed to aptitude show <package> | more, and don't see the behavior you describe. Yes, I was logged in as root on 2 consoles while doing this. I'm running debian testing here, which is also called squeeze/sid at the moment anyway. My synth is a doubletalk pc, and the speakup info is: speakup 3.1.3: initialized synth name on entry is: dtlk synth probe Probing for DoubleTalk. DoubleTalk PC: 29e-29f, ROM ver 5.74, s/n 16443, driver: 2.9 The kernel is a custom-built 2.6.29.6 with speakup and the dtlk built-in, and soft and bns built as modules. As for building a custom kernel, I personally grab the tarball from kernel.org, apply speakup patches, configure it, and let kernel-package do the rest via make-kpkg kernel_image I don't think I ever tried apt-src to build a kernel, though I have used it in the past to build local versions of some debian packages.
