Note: this applies to the new CVS version of Speakup. 1. What is the earliest point I can insert an echo command to the /proc/speakup/synth_name to set up a synth. driver? 2. When attempting to load the speakout driver while currently logged in, I get the following messages shown in dmesg and the load obvously fails. Speakup: loading module "speakup_spkout" releasing synth acntpc Probing for Speakout. Speakout Out: not found spkout: device probe failed Now, I understand there is a setserial sequence I should do; can someone tell me what that sequence is? when I tried setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none, I got no complaints but I got the above messages when I echoed 'spkout' to /proc/speakup/synth_name. Thanks for any help.
