Hi everyone. I've been a Gentoo and Speakup user for quite some time and until recently, Speakup has worked perfectly. Now that I have upgraded to Gentoo kernel 3.4.9, however, Speakup is no longer working as it should. I am currently using Speakup version 3.1.6 with softsynth driver version 2.6. The softsynth I am using is Espeak which connects to Espeak through Espeakup. My problem is that my numeric keypad doesn't work when Speakup is active. Whenever I press a key on my numeric keypad, my computer freezes. When Speakup isn't active, for example when using Orca under Gnome, the numeric keypad works perfectly. I would very much appreciate any advice anyone may have as to how to solve this issue. Regards, John
