* quick fix for 2.6.34 problem with serial synths @ Kitty Litter ` William Hubbs 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Kitty Litter @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. In speakup/src/serialio.c comment out the return (NULL); line just below __release_region. Looking at the kernel source in kernel/resource.c it seems that if __release_region fails you would get a kernel message. So speakup seems to think it fails but the kernel doesn't. Someone with more smarts than me maybe can figure this all out. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Actually the failure was happening on the line below that in the call to synth_request_region. I don't have a fix for that yet, but now the code is set up to log the error code and port number if that fails so hopefully we can see what is going on. Are you comfortable with pulling from git and testing with that code? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, William ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I will paste in the most relevant line from the system log.

I got the same results with talkwith and manually trying to do echoing to speakup/synth. In any case, the pride and joy of Speakup with serial synths doesn't work for me either. This happened with both the binary version on ArchLinux and the git pull from just an hour ago (July 6th).
