Re: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6

I know you're not complaining for no reason. But I think this problem is 
like most problems in life -- nobody is going to solve it for you. Sometimes 
complaining works. I wouldn't count on it though.

Yeah, taking over oralux might be a good idea. I'll contact the maintainer 
of oralux. I've corresponded with him before.
