Hi Vik,
Sorry for the delay in replying. The problem is caused by Speakup
http://linux-speakup.org/. I have a patch for the current Rawhide kernel.
I'm about to test it. If it works, and I expect it will, I'll attach it
to bug 71136. Sorry for the inconvenience. A work-around for the problem
might be to turn off num-lock.
