I also have it booting with speakup or without speakup. The kernel with speakup is default, and will boot automatically after 30 seconds. If I select the second kernel on the lilo menu, a different kernel will boot which has been configured with default synth = none and no speakup keymap. This way the PC can be shared with people who don't want speakup. If you're willing to apply the kernel patches yourself and compile kernels, you can make a kernel that is specifically configured for your synthesizer and the speakup keymap. It does not need any boot parameters to work. Mine boots automatically, and speakup uses the usrdev (software synth). The init scripts start festival and the middleware program. I assume this would also work with an external synthesizer. A second kernel can be prepared by changing these items in the .config file: CONFIG_SPEAKUP=n CONFIG_SPEAKUP_DEFAULT="none" CONFIG_SPEAKUP_KEYMAP=n You can copy .config to /usr/src/linux and run make oldconfig after making these changes then compile a kernel without speakup. This does require building two kernels, one with speakup and one without, but no boot params are needed, and they can both be added to lilo. -- Doug In fact, it should probably >the default, with a make config item to make "yes" the default, if that is >really intended.
