To those who have used Linux on Thinkpads: did you do a talking install? After using ps2.exe to enable the serial port (ps2 serial enable), I booted the Debian Speakup installation disks, with: linux speakup_synth=dectlk,speakup_port=ttyS0 (also tried it with no port spec) and get no speech. When I have someone look at the screen, where I place a cat of /proc/interrupts, there are no serial ports shown, and only 0, 2, 11, and 14, appear to be used; with none of them being serial ports, IR ports, parallel ports, or the like. Note, that I have disabled the IR and parallel ports. Is there anything in the CMOS that could effect this, or does Linux require a modualized serial driver to make this work?
