You hear the speakup kernel starting up and complaining = about many things such as the state of the alsa configuration. Apparently, = this is okay as sound and sound effects do run. Eventually, X starts on its= own and you loose the ability to stop speakup. =09Speakup continues to complain about many things and then describes every= thing starting up until about where bluetooth starts at which point it stop= s talking. =09What should happen after that based on a few tantalizing events is that = you get the orca login window but nothing has worked after that. =09If you log in from a ssh console and tell the system to reboot, speakup = begins talking again to announce the shutdown and does so for a couple of s= econds until it dies as all the running processes are killed off. =09From what I can tell, X takes over automatically and stays on until you = log in from somewhere else and kill gdm3 at which time you can get all your= speakup consoles back or you reboot or halt the system at which time speak= up sings it swan's song so to speak as the system goes down. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@linux-speakup.org http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
