The installation went well, and now it is possible to create that direct
file in /sys/module/speakup/parameters.
But one issue remains: When doing so, and start Espeakup with the -V option
using "de" for German, not all punctuation characters were echoed when
typing. In fact almost non are spoken. For English this works fine.
And one final thing: When I reboot my machine the direct file has changed
its value from 1 to 0; is this normal? Do I have to create a startup script
containing the change of this value together with Espeak's start options?
