Fedora, Speakup & Dectalk Express

Fedora, Speakup & Dectalk Express

[Liz Hare]

Hello,

I recently installed Fedora 7 and ended up needing to get help because my Dectalk Express wouldn't speak.

I know it works fine in the only serial port on the machine when I use it in Windows.

Oddly, Fedora doesn't hang, but starts all the way up.  The /proc/speakup directory is there.

I have specified speakup_ser = 1 in grub.conf.

/dev/ttyS0 is there.

I've been looking around online, trying to figure out how to get this working, but I don't have any more ideas to try.  Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Thanks,
Liz

Well, if you want to be using /dev/ttyS0, then what you want to be
passing via grub is speakup_ser=0. Also, any reason why you're doing
that? It's been a long, long time since the days where you had to
force a serial port in speakup to cause a synth to talk.

Well we are back to those days with the dectalk driver in 2.6.21 anyway.
