hal on debian testing fails configuration

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am running debian testing and was having problems with configuration 
of the hardware abstraction layer.  It tries to configure itself but fails. 
I am using a dectalk express external synthisizer connected to the first and 
only serial port in my system.  Has anyone else had this problem and is 
there a fix for it?

First, this is probably not on topic for Speakup.  Second, a bit more 
detail would be helpful, like what error message you're getting.  Have 
you ran "aptitude -q update" "aptitude -q upgrade" to make sure you have 
the latest packages?  Have you looked to see if bugs have been filed 
that relate to your problem?  Really there is nothing we can do without 
a bit more to go on.

Hi, Well I did try unloading the speakup module from running at boot and the 
program still fails with gnome can't communicate with hal or something like 
that.  Does hal have any log files that I could look at when I am using 
speakup and I could find the errors in them?
