I am been using speakup under vinux for a couple of weeks, now, and love it but I ran in to a problem while running the FreeBSD installation disk. Some of the selection screens have you use the arrows to move the highlight up and down but the cursor doesn't follow along so there is nothing useful to hear. Is there anything in speakup that will find highlighted text or let you specify an attribute since I think that is what is happening? The Number Pad 5 or 8 keys don't helpbecause the cursor is probably off the screen or down at the bottom and not at the point of focus. When using the arrows, one just hears either "blank" or one of the last selections uselessly repeated each time the arrow moves up or down. Thanks for any useful ideas.
