I'm just a newbie in Fedora 3 myself, but remember in the installation having to turn off "cups off" "firstboof off" and "kudzu off". This was during the installation so it wouldn't go through I guess, and look at all the ports, and figure that the printer was attached to one of them and really, your speech synthesizer was on one of the lines and got disconnected by the server until it though itwas being called on again. I really don't know, but that's my guess as to why those lines were and they said in the docs, if you didn't turn them off, your speech would come up and then stop.

But I cannot get any sound out of the synthesizer on this Debian boot up for the installation... I did have winblows on this system with an Artic Braille pad for the synth, so I know that the connection is right, and it is "com 1" (ser=0). But I have tried both of the following lines with the disk I made from the boot.img disk: linux speakup_synth=txprt and I have also tried: linux speakup_synth=txprt speakup_ser=0 I get no sound but it runs after I press enter after the above command but stops, and as soon as I make a keystroke, it runs again, but still nothing happens. Any help appreciated. Glenn _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
