List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, that's a pretty common problem. Red Hat decided to change some things, and it causes speakup to get those errors. However, here is how I cut the problem to a minimum. I open /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the following lines to it: echo 100 >/proc/speakup/dec_express/delay_time echo 15 >/proc/speakup/dec_express/jiffy_delta That usually clears up the problem. You also can add custum speech rate, pitch, punc_level, etc to that file so that you get the same speech settings on startup. Hth.
