Hi Kirk, I didn't put it very clearly: I compiled Apollo as a normal synth
and softsynth as a module as there was no other choice for this. The only
messages I found concerning Speakup were that Speakup V.2.00 or something
was initialized and that /dev/synth with nodes MAJOR 10 and MINOR 25 were
initialized. I didn't find anything about probing for synths. When the
bootdisk was ready I entered the parameters "mount root=/dev/hda3 ro
speakup_synth=apolo" and got, as I already mentioned, no speech output.

When you were doing make config, or make menuconfig while compiling
your kernel, there should be a prompt at the end of the speakup
section, which asks you to enter the 4-6 character keyword for your synth, to
use as the default. By default, the keyword is none. Did you change it
to say "apolo" in your case, instead of none?
BTW, that config prompt should say 3-6 character keyword, since bns is
a 3 letter keyword.

Okay Ernst thanks. I concur with Greg it looks like you may not have
specified the apolo as your default synth when configuring the
kernel. You should still be able to load the synth at the lilo boot
prompt or in your lilo.conf file with an append line to get it to come
up probing for the apolo. You can also load it after logging in with
the echo apolo >/proc/speakup/synth_name command although it would
probably be better to do it in lilo or just reconfigure the kernel and
recompile. It shouldn't take very long to do considering you
basically already have everything compiled.
After the speakup version 2.0. whatever you should see a probing for
apolo message indicating that it is attempting to find the Apolo.
good luck.
Kirk

Hi,
Originally, the keyword for the Apollo synth was apolo, but I think
it was finally fixed. Try: speakup_synth=apollo, That's with 2 L's.
HTH.

That's so you know you're reading a capital letter.

Subject: apollo 2 issue
Hello,
I've noticed that when typing or reading a capital letter the tone of the
apollo increases. Any ideas why?
