Hiya, The kernel successfully detected and recognized my USB serial converter, however the device name is now /dev/ttyUSB0. I'm not sure how to get Speakup to communicate with this port, but I'm going to assume it's possible somehow. I'd appreciate any advice on how to get this to work. Thanks, Zack. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Given the messages on the cell phone thread yesterday, why would you make such an assumption?

Well, it is an assumption based on several of the messages which I read, and upon the fact that the kernel does recognize and properly connfigure the device. Perhaps 'hope' this is possible would be a better word, however.

Once someone rewrites the speakup serial code to handle ports with non-standard i/o addresses, then perhaps you can start hoping again.

As I understand it, when those previous messages were saying "it should be possible" to get speakup working with a USB serial port convertor, the meaning was that it is technically possible for speakup to be modified to do that, but not that speakup can do it with the code as is. You probably can (I would expect) that you could use the external synth with one of the other linux screen readers (eg. those which use emacspeak speech servers (orca can, but only some of the drivers, to my disappointment), and of course emacspeak. I don't know about yasr and screader.).

Sorry for the confusion, it is already possible for the kernel to direct console output to USB serial dongle, but speakup needs to be modified for ability to write to the USB device rather than RS232 serial ports at fixed port addresses and interrupts, it is writing to ISA bus registers. It may be a while before necessary mods are done to take the same output and write to the USB bus instead. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
