I must have sent to another address for this list, as my message bounced. First, I asked on the speakup list-and-it was suggested I join this list for discussion-and-solutions. First of all, for any who are not on blind-l, blinux, or speakup, a bit of an intro. I got my first PC-and-started on CompuServe in 1994, tried Jaws in late 97, but finally left windows completely here at home in 2006. I have had shell accounts since 1995, but the transition from understanding DOS to understanding unix/linux commands, are a chalenge. Now, we installed GRML on my Laptop, the full nearly 700MB version. We successfully have IBM TT Synth working. Speakup is more or less talking. So here are my issues: #1 When speakup is reading, it is spelling most words, however in screen-review it is fine. #2 The cursor seems to be highlighting a random line, such as 19, instead of the most current text. #3 Where are any power management settings? After an hour or so, I am automaticly logged out of any consoles. #4 Once I rebooted the laptop, now speakup volume is much loer-and-the insert 2 will not alter anything. #5 Can I run Y A S R with TT Synth? Seems like anytime I go in the YASR options pannel, I can never save settings, as speech drops dead. #6 And in the setup screen for e-mail settings to join this list, it mentions you can set filters in receiving messages. Well, in L Y N X I saw no way to do that. Thanks in advance for any-and-all solutions Hart
