Keith, A friend of mine had a very similar issue. Speakup would stop working when dropping back to the console after starting X. The setup was different: Arch Linux with pulseaudio. He fixed it by removing espeak-ng and installing the old espeak 1.48.04 package. He recompiled his espeak to work with pulseaudio, since there's an outstanding bug in the Arch Linux espeak package. I have no idea why this fixed his problem; all I know is that it did. He spent some time tracking it down. Speakup itself was not being killed or disabled. You could tell that speakup was still functioning by bouncing into the console and using the review keys. The review keys were making the console bleeps that speakup makes, AKA speakup music. The espeakup process was not dying. However, the combo of speakup and espeakup was going silent. Hope this is useful to you, -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
