Well, the sound card is an es1371, at least that was what I was told to use in the make config portion of this whole mess. Now my next question may be easier to solve, and may be helpful in solving the first problem. the patch I was using was speakup-0.9b-v2.3-patch. Thanks again for all of your help, and where would I get those sound card drivers from? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Reiser" <kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 10:00 PM Subject: Re: kernel compile erors again > Hi Chris: My guess is that 2.3.9 is one of those cusp kernel version > where the speakup code hadn't totally matched the kernel code.
