13 I can fix the problem by editing speakupmap.map and running the command
14 ./genmap speakupmap.map >/proc/speakup/keymap

16 The genmap program is in the drivers/char/speakup directory. This can
17 be run as a normal user, but it will have to be done every time you boot
18 the system.
19 Is this the kind of thing I should be filing bug reports about, or
20 should it just be documented somewhere in a speakup Gentoo FAQ?
