Hello, My archlinux system was upgraded to kernel 2.6.39 but now speakup and my apollo does not work. When I boot the system the speakup_apollo module is not loaded and when I use modprobe to load the module the module is not loaded and modprobe does not return me to the shell prompt (I can stop it with control+c). I seem to get the same result if I try and load the speakup_soft module, so may be it isn't apollo specific. Michael Whapples
