There is a bug that can trash your hardware synth on com 1, but it should only be a problem once. It only happens when you first set up Gnopernicus for a new user. Basically: when you select "enable screen reader" in the assistive technology dialog in desktop preferences, the defaults for Gnopernicus will be switched to ones that include a braille display connected to com 1. Just go into the startup preferences dialog of Gnopernicus and disable braille support to get Gnopernicus to stop messing with the com port. After you do this, you can switch to a text console and get the synth back. To get the synth back, just change the speakup default to none, power cycle the synth, and then return the speakup default to the hardware synth. The bug has been reported, and it should be fixed "soon". Like I said, it only happens when you first set up Gnopernicus, it won't happen again and it won't happen on a system that just runs Gnome without Gnopernicus. Hope this helps.
