RedHat 7 speakup installation?

RedHat 7 speakup installation?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hello,
I am attempting to get up and running with RedHat 7 and speakup on a
Toshiba Tecra 8100.  I am using an Artic Transport synthesizer and the
acntsap.bin boot disk.
The install procedure talks and completes quite nicely; however, once my
system reboots into linux, I don't get any speech.  Is my Linux
installation making use of the Kernel from the boot disk?  If not, what do
I need to do at this point?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Al

Hi all!  It's been ages!  As it happens, I just solved that problem last
night, at least, I hope I did.  grab
ftp://speakup.octothorp.org/pub/redhat-7.0/RPMS/kernel-2.2.16-22.i686.rpm.
The RPMS part is uppercase.  Then, do: rpm -iv --force
<path>kernel-2.2.16-22.i686.rpm.  Then, edit /etc/lilo.conf.  Right above
or below the line that says "default=linux" put:
append="speakup_synth=acntsa"
or you could try txprt instead of acntsa.  Save the file and run lilo by
typing lilo at a command prompt.  Reboot, and magic should happen.

     Any questions, call or write.

Hi,
will this same rpm work with a Dectalk Express as well? I am in the process
of redoing my Red Hat box after a massive stream of hardware problems
including a dead processor and hard drive.
I also lost all of my Speakup Kernel images so I can't exactly get speech
going after I get Red Hat on my home computer.

Yes.  Just boot with: speakup_synth=dectlk speakup_serial=<tty-number> 0
for com1, 1 for com2.
For some reason, The kernels I compile have a little trouble detecting the
synth.  Don't know what's up with that.

Hi, Bill!
Would that be Speakup 0.10 in that RPM or just 0.9?
Best regards,
Victor

Hi, Vic,

     It's 0.10 with all the synths included and the speakup keymap turned
on.

Ok, what do I have to do to install this myself. 
I am going to be doing this with a Dectalk Express on ttyS0.

Hi, Bill!
Today I finally wanted to download that kernelfrom your FTP site, but there
was nothing but /pub directory.
What's wrong?
Best,
Victor

Hi, Vic,

     In /pub, you'll find two directories.  redhat-7.0 is a directory
that contains a version of console-tools with the speakup keymap
included, and kernel-2.2.17-14 which is suitable for redhat 6x and 7.0.
Just keep whatever version of kernel-headers you already have.  The
other is a directory called fisher.  In there, you'll find speakup
enabled ISO images of the installation disks for the first beta of
RH7.1.  I don't recommend those because there's a second beta called
Wolverine.  I'll have images and kernels for that one this week end.
