-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, I have my software speech working with flite. I thought it might be of interest to someone to know what I had to do to make it happen automatically. First, I compiled my kernel with speakup_sftsyn selected as a module, but left my earlier selection, speakup_ltlk, compiled into the kernel. Next, I placed these lines in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: # start the software speech daemons /usr/local/bin/speech-dispatcher /sbin/modprobe speakup_sftsyn sleep 1 /usr/local/bin/speechd_up The key to making these statements work within the rc.local file was the insertion of the one second pause before the invocation of speechd_up. Don't ask me why. Without that pause I needed to log into root without speech and run speechd_up at the prompt. With the pause present, the software speech comes up automatically. Jacob, or someone else who has made dectalk work with dispatcher, would you please share your "AddModule" statement from the speech-dispatcher config file? I made some intelligent guesses which turned out not to be so intelligent, and could use a clue or two here. This flite is driving me batty, but it works. - -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (68% of Full) My home page is now at http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQJD7FzVdG8M9x9tGAQJPZgQA0oAClqXVEd5T60P2m1RD/ATM0NBr8l94 SqZK3Vg7cdZ4Nt9eAPUKupsmLE/L///DXoSuWMCJVD5ZZVdqWpatrpaZ/BcaJtxD XLAyYSSW3pQ0lApHPOZj+zKNc/S/6EUBVxP5qXkMUBV1pZ9Qqqr+4n+9h2gy8S4k CrPCIM5SsN8= =47Yp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
