System still locks up on me in Debian

System still locks up on me in Debian

[Gaijin]

	Hello all,

	Just writing to report that the latest speakup upgrade in debian
is still crashing when performing long displays of text while using the
LTLK module.  I'm running things with the 2.6.26-686 kernel on a celeron
system.  Usually I just hit keypad enter to silence the boot messages,
but if I don't do that, then the system locks up tight, requiring  a
press of the reset switch or a full power-off.  Any ideas on what I may
be doing wrong?

I have this problem as well using my DoubleTalk LT with the LTLK driver.

Probably nothing.
Once the doubletalk buffer fills up, the doubletalk will handshake off and 
leave speakup stuck.
I used to get around this by powering the doubletalk off and on to empty the 
buffer.
This is a known bug. Once you had too much text the whole thing can lock 
solid.
I have no idea if anyone is looking into this bug; most people don't have 
speakup compiled into the kernel these days and just either load as modules 
and turn speech off or silence at bootup which is not ideal.

Not sure if this is beeing worked on at all and who would debug it.

Regards, Kerry.

strange thing is that for me at least the synth doesn't seem to lock up in 
the old cvs version of speakup.  I would still be using the last version 
from cvs but I like how the newer speakup from git is more responsive.
