Speakup doesn't speak when I log into a text console

[John Robinson]

Hi everyone.  I've recently upgraded to the latest version of Lucid but 
am having some problems with Speakup used with Espeakup.  Speakup speaks 
fine while I'm logging into a text console, but stops speaking 
altogether as soon as I have logged in.  It speaks fine as soon as I log 
out again.  This happens irrespective of which console I try to log 
into.  I've never seen this behaviour before and would very much 
appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix this problem.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
