Hi Joseph, Thanks, you confirmed what I thought. The strange thing is that I am using the speakup.I boot disk provided with slakware8, but in it's config.gz I couldn't find any reference to speakup. Like your self, this boot disk has drivers for all synths, but the default is selected at boot time. could it be the case that the config.gz on this disk doesn't reflect the kernel setting? Kind regards Mo. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Norton [mailto:jnorton@xxxxxxx] Sent: 03 October 2001 03:47 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca; speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: SPEAKUP.I Hi Mo: I just included the config.gz as used from Slackware's bare.i kernel. Since you have to get Speakup and patch it into the kernel source, it won't hurt to answer the questions about Speakup. When I compiled it, I installed support for all synths and chose no default synth, so you need to pass this information to the kernel at boot time. However, someone compiling a new kernel will probably want to only use support for their synth and make it the default. Also, once you answer the questions once, your answers are added to the .config file. Hope this helps.
