Hi! Would it be possible to use speakup only as a screen reader. In this scenario there would be some /proc entry, say /proc/speakup/external witch a user space program could open for reading and talk everything read from it. This will not of course work until computer ha started up but it's better and cheaper than nothing. -- Mr. Ari Moisio, Niittykatu 5, 41160 Tikkakoski, +358-40-5055239 ari.moisio at iki.fi http://www.iki.fi/arimo PGP-keyID: 0x3FAF0F05
