Now, I am to the point of installing software speech. Speech-Dispatcher is installed, as is Speechd-Up. Espeak is my synth of choice. I also setup my kernel to compile sftsyn as a module. In the default synth field in the kernel, though, I have ltlk as that is my primary synth. I have verified that Speech-Dispatcher and Speechd-up are working because I performed the speechd-up probe test and it was spoken. The problem happens when I do modprobe speakup_sftsyn. The system simply freezes; no speech, no beeps, nothing. In fact, I'm forced to restart forcefully with the ower button. Where should I look to find whatever error may be occurring? If I need to get sighted assistance, that's not a problem. Thanks, Robby
