I'm having all kinds of problems here trying to get tuxtalk to work - especially with Speakup. I did actually get the say command to speak something by piping text into it via a pipe or <file.txt. But it hangs and I have to do a ctrl-C to exit the program every time. When I tried following some suggested steps recently, I got "daemon mode: no such device" whenever I did a 'say -d'. Now here is something really wierd. When I do a 'modprobe speakup_sftsyn', I my speakout synth comes up talking and the lsmod listing shows the following. Module Size Used by Not tainted speakup_spkout 1928 0 (autoclean) (unused) speakup_sftsyn 2352 0 (autoclean) [speakup_spkout] speakupmain 42516 0 [speakup_spkout speakup_sftsyn] nfsd 65808 8 lockd 46448 1 [nfsd] sunrpc 64476 1 [nfsd lockd] ............. rest removed. The softsynth device was defined as softsynth c 10 26 per previous instruction but I get no speech from tuxtalk but my speakout is going along just fine but I had specified sftsyn <strange>. I did a diff compare on both the sources and compiled objects for the two synth drivers in question and there are differences between sources as well as objects so I figure the modules aren't duplicated or any of that. The lsmod listing shows the wierd thing though. Anyone figure this one out?:) -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown
