Stephen:
My /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file has only the following two lines in it:
KEYBOARDTYPE=3D"pc"
KEYTABLE=3D"us"
I'm a little confused.. Is this the file I should be looking at?
Thanks,
Pete

If you edit the following file and remove the .map extension from =
speakup, the key map will load automatically.
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard=20
the bottom line is usually the one that you are looking for to make =
the above change to.
Good luck!

Subject: Loading Keymap In RedHat 7
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.
