Hi.
Ok, finally I give up, I've tried everything with lenny to get speakup working.
I installed that old kernel package, searched and searched the internet, and finally got hold of the speakup package for that kernel.
I modprobed speakup_soft, the same things, the module loads, linux stops responding to my keypresses, can't do anything.
I've tried to compile a new kernel, but that kernel with speakup doesn't start whatever I do.
I've selected everything I want to have, like modules and such, then I typed make all.
Have I missed anything?
So, since yesterday was probably the last day I hade speakup in lenny, I must use squeze, even though I dislike squeze.
My questions are as follows.
1. sound card.
How do I change from my built in sound card on the motherboard to my soundblaster audigy 2zs without alsaconf?
2. I want to have pc speaker support, but can't figure out how to get that working.
and finally, maybe a little off topic for this list, but is there any way to do so that I get the status cells to the left side of my braille display instead of the right?
It feels very uncomfortable to have them there.

Usually you compile kernels for debian with kernel-package
apt-get install kernel-package fakeroot
make-kpkg clean
make config or whatever
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1 --initrd kernel_image
dpkg -i kernel-image-x.x.x_custom.1.deb
My questions are as follows.
1. sound card.
How do I change from my built in sound card on the motherboard to my soundblaster audigy 2zs without alsaconf?
edit /etc/modutils.d/alsa and set
options options snd-audigy index=1
or whatever the module for your audigy card is called.
You'll want squeeze for the later sound modules that work better with the zs.
Then run
update-modules I believe it is.
This is documented in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/Readme.Debian.gz I believe.
and finally, maybe a little off topic for this list, but is there any way to do so that I get the status cells to the left side of my braille display instead of the right?

Try the brltty documentation, it should have details what is and isn't configurable.
I remember seeing manpages and the like on the brltty website although it has been a while since I looked.
Regards, Kerry.

Hi,
I've had that problem with the pcspkr module too, for some reason
removing and readding it fixes the problem, but you need to do it
every boot.
rmmod pcspkr;modprobe pcspkr
should get it working.
Hth and hopefully someone's got more info on this.
