Hi, everyone:
Well, thanks to Bill Acker's excellent assistance, I've got speakup =
running on my Redhat 7 Linux system. I'm really like a kid in a candy =
store because the interface is very good and easy to use. I have it =
running with an Accent-SA synthesizer.
My first question has to do with the default loading of the keymap file. =
As Ia test, I wanted to reboot my system just to make sure it came back =
up cleanly, but I noticed that the navigation keystrokes were no longer =
working after the reboot. I took a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, and =
discovered that speakup's key table is not automatically loaded upon =
reboot (probably no surprise to you veteran speakup users (smile)).I =
happen to have the speakup keymap file downloaded from Bill's FTP site =
in my home directory, so the first thing I do when I login is to type:
loadkeys speakup.kmap.gz
and all is well. There has to be a better and more automatic way to get =
this keymap file loaded, isn't there?
Thanks for any help.
