Speakup and Kernel 2.6.24.4

Speakup and Kernel 2.6.24.4

[Robert Spangler]

Hello all,

OK, I did get it to patch and compile.  When I built Speakup, Speakup 
Engine, and the LTLK driver into the kernel, it did not come up speaking 
upon reboot.  When I made them both modules (except for Speakup Console 
Speech which stays at built in) and did modprobe speakup_ltlk I did not get 
speech.  What's going on?  Why is there an item called "Speakup Engine?"

Thanks,
Robby

If you have compiled speakup in to the kernel you need to pass the
speakup_synth=ltlk boot parameter to your kernel. If you are using
modules, my information may not be right because I haven't ever tried
it. But I think what you need to do is just do this.

echo ltlk > /proc/speakup/synth_name

I think that file may have moved though. In any case, the module will
get loaded and initialized when you do that.
