Thats right if you want to use sbl with the patch for the
keyboard sniffer which is needed if sbl is used without a braille
display.
Well, most of us, including me, don't have a Braille display, so I guess I'm
out of luck. Compiling a kernel is hard enough, but patching and compiling a
2.2 kernel is silly and makes no sense. If there is a way to use it with
only speech on recent kernels, I'm still interested in trying it, but I'm
not going to run a 2.2 kernel just for that. Even the long term 2.6 kernels
aren't supported anymore.
