Well, after a couple of days of fighting with my computer I finally got to install the cvs updates for speakup. I got a crash course in recompiling my kernel but did fine there. Hear's something I noticed though and not sure if there is another way around this... When I was recompiling the kernel in the menus it appears tha speakup seems to have trouble tracking things like when I'd up and down arrow between items I could never really be sure what item I had selected or not... This has suddenly become a problem in the sense that I recompiled the kerneljust fine with no errors, but apparrently didn't select the right speech synthisizer. I'm not really sure how to get around that/fix it, I've got someone who's been teaching me... But am mor curious as to wether there is a better way to work with speakup in menues like that... If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it.
