Chris - The rate change commands work on my LT and I do not have a /dev/synth device. I have speakup 0.10 (not 0.10A) with kernel 2.2.18 and a doubletalk lite. I read the rate value with a cat command and change it with an echo command. This is what I use: to read the rate: cat /proc/speakup/rate to change the rate: echo 9 >/proc/speakup/rate Actually 9 is too fast for my old ears but 8 is just about right. Both these commands work for me as a normal user. HTH.
