speakup: built-in, or module

speakup: built-in, or module

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Now that speakup is totally modularized with more recent kernel
versions, I am curious whether anyone still modifies one of those
kernels to build speakup in, and if so what the advantages might be.

I am also curious about where the speakup parameters might be found in
the event that speakup is built into a recent kernel. Would there still
be a /sys/module/speakup/parameters directory, if speakup were not a
module?

Hi,

      I only build Speakup into the kernel because I don't know how to put 
the modules into Anaconda, the Fedora installer, and have them loaded for 
the, now almost extinct, text installation process.  All the parameter 
files are available just as if you had loaded modules.

           HTH.

Bill,

Thanks. That sounds like a legitimate reason.

Maybe I'm stuck in my old ways or something, but I still like having 
speech as early as possible so I still use a statically built kernel 
with my Speakout external synth. But I use software speech a lot too so 
I might consider switching to modules so I can replace speakup more 
readily without having to rebuild kernels; even though building a kernel 
isn't all that hard either.
