In arch linux I have the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf that does it: options speakup_ltlk ser=0 start=0 Then, at the end of /etc/rc.local, you can start it talking in time to hear the login prompt with these lines: talkwith ltlk speakupconf load Hope that helps Chuck -- Chuck in Hudson.
