I don't know whether the = Speakup code should be rewritten or not, but it sure does seem that, as = with much else, non-visual access is very much an afterthought at best = for the makers of Linux kernels. =20 Al ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Zachary Kline" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." = Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 12:30 AM Subject: An apology > Hello, > I would like to apologize for my recent tone on this mailing list. = The topic of Speakup support being taken out of Gentoo sources was, I = suppose, a rather sensative one for me. I have had a great deal of = success with it. > The irony in all this, I suppose, is that I recently switched away = from Gentoo-sources and took up Vanilla-sources. This was because the = CVS version of Speakup used in Gentoo-sources has problems with my = synthesizer: problems fixed by my manual patching in of a more recent = version. > I am confedent that in time we can work out a solution. I'm not a = technical person in a lot of ways: far be it from me to say what will = work best. I was rather strident in defending my points, and that = wasn't called for. Deedra, in particular, I apologize for beating a = dead horse and not being more far-sighted. =20 > I'd hope something can be decided upon which will satisfy = everybody here.
