speakup with serial devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



One thing I discovered recently was that whether speakup can make a serial
device work easily may depend on settings in the bios setup... If you
persist in havi;ng trouble which cannot be solved with the
"speakup_ser=x" option, try this:

Prepare a bootable DOS disk. Boot your system to a DOS prompt. Never mind
putting speech on; it... Then replace the DOS disk with your
Linux/Speakup boot disk and press "ctrl-alt-delete" to start the Linux
bootup. Do not use the reset button if any - use the three finger
salute! That way DOS will have a chance to initialize your serial ports
and the parameters will be preserved through the soft boot...
