not loading the speakup driver

not loading the speakup driver

[Terry Klarich]

Is theresuch a kernel command line option such as speakup_synth and
speakup_port that will tell the kernel not to load or initialize speakup?
Didn't see anything in the faq nor the documentation.

THANKS!
Terry

You're probably looking for speakup_synth=none.

You can use speakup_synth=none.  That will cause the kernel not to load a
synthesizer, but you will have to change your keymap if you don't want
your numpad keys to be reserved for Speakup.

Thanks to those who responded.  I assumed that speakup_synth=none would work.

However, this doesn't appear to be the case.  I am building a utility type machine which will sit in the corner.  It will handle
mail, dns, serving of mp3 files, usenet news and stuff like that.  I don't have a voice synthesizer I would want to dedicate to it.
Rather, I wish to install via the serial console.  The command line I am using is:

linux text console=ttyS0,9600 speakup_synth=none

This does, in fact, work properly until it displays speakup (version): initialized
console: vga 25x80

At this point, all serial console output stops.  Not sure if the machine is actually hung up or not.  Sending a break does nothing,
repeated key combinations on the keyboard seem to do nothing as well.

Any ideas?  I'm sure I am over looking something simple.

THANKS!
Terry

Hmmm, I can personally say that having speakup in the kernel and using the speakup_synth=none parameter
has never for me produced adverse effects when running from a serial console starting at boot.

Try specifying speakup_port, as a port other than the one you are using
for your terminal.

Better yet, try compiling a kernel not including speakup, and using it for
boots that do not need direct speech.
