Have you tried using modprobe -r to remove the speakup modules and then modprobe to reload them? I've found it best to change the default synth to none before disconnecting a serial synth in speakup 2.0. I have never been able to successfuly disconnect and reconnect a serial synth like you could with speakup 1.5. Hope this helps. Kenny On Mon, May 09, 2005 at 08:42:33PM -0600, Raul A.
