I just popped in the latest CVS version of Speakup and the Speakout stuff is workin' good now.:) But I discovered a strange deal when I do a "modprobe -r speakup_spkout". I can't really say if this started today or if it is the similar problem Gene talked about last week or so. When I do "modprobe -r speakup_spkout" from an ssh session, it unloads both speakup_spkout and speakupmain as I would expect. I can then load speakup with "modprobe speakup_spkout" with no problems either. However... if I do the unload command from a normal console, the machine locks up and any remote sessions are also hung up. I cannot ctrl-alt-del or any of that. I have to power off the machine to get things back. So the strangeness here is modprobe -r... works perfectly from a remote session but locks up tighter than a drum if it is done from a normal tty from a local root login.
