Hi Folks, I am a newbee to this group so hope I can get some help here with a problem I am having. I recently installed Fedora core 5 to a Dell dimention. Processor isa P4 with 1.2 gigs of memory. I have two sound cards on the PC as I duel boot between fedora and windows xp. I have an apollo2 synthesizer attached to com 1 because I am using speakup in the command section of linux. I am however more interested in the GUI end of linux and it is while working in here I experience my problem. Gnopernicus after a while and while I am performing some task such as sending an email will suddenly crash and I have no speech. This problem can happen anywhere within the GUI and I am not sure what is causing it. I tried disableing one of my soundcards to see if that would help but no luck. I am now wondering if perhaps Speakup indirectly working through the apollo synthesizer may be causing something to happen. Wonder if anyone on the list might have some ideas. Regards, Paul. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
