Is the serial bug you're talking about the one where speakup couldn't "steal" back the serial port so many serial synths couldn't be initialized? It was in the file serialio.c. I used to have my own patch for that and I have about 200 machines running a custom kernel because of it. If that bug is fixed in the kernel source, it is a big deal to me. -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William F.

Subject: Re: Speakup broken with kernel 3.4.x (ArchLinux users please read) Well, I must admit that I hadn't actually tested Speakup since Alan's patch stopped applying cleanly, but linux-3.7 was just released. It seems to have all of Alan's patch, so, with luck, we're out of the woods. -- Bill in Denver On Mon, 22 Oct 2012, covici at ccs.covici.com wrote: > Well, we still have the serial bug, and I had numlock want to go on > when switching windows, but that stopped happening after a while, I am > not sure what caused that. > > Kyle <kyle4jesus at gmail.com> wrote: > >> I pulled down the 3.6.2 kernel I believe 2 days ago, and the crash >> when pressing numeric keys is completely gone.
