I am using a git pull of speakup from April 13 and kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 and the software speech is not working at all. I have speakout builtin and soft as a module, but either echoing soft to /sys/module/speakup/parameters/synth or modprobing the module speakup_soft loads the module, but mothing else happens. Also, speechd-up says its trying to open the device in the old way and it then says it can't find /dev/softsynth . Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny.
