I'll ask the author to read it and try to help. IMHO this is no documentation issue; I mean, the handbook is pretty clear, the problem is that nothing *works* at all. Trying to start the kttsd from the configuration tab page does no t work, starting it from the command line does; but it does nothing. I could even introspect it via qdbusviewer. Also the kttsmgr does nothing at all (I guess the underlying problem is that you cannot even set up a talker). Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
