Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Al Puzzuoli @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup 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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

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.

For some reason, The kernels I compile have a little trouble detecting the synth. Don't know what's up with that.

Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123 @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup 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. HTH.
