Okay! I installed the Speakup Modified Fedora Core 2 distribution and the system is running well. I used the graphical installation program and did not follow the step by step HowTo provided at the site because I intend to use a software synth of some kind and couldn't find specific instructions for that (synth keyword, etc.) So now my questions are: How do I get speakup running using a software synth such as sftsyn? I've tried logging into a text console and doing: modprobe speakup_sftsyn but nothing happens. I notice that the modules show up when I do an lsmod but Speakup doesn't speak. I've also tried doing: speakup_synth=sftsyn But again nothing happens. I think I've done all the obvious stuff like run alsaconf and made sure the audio outputs were up and not muted. (Gnopernicus seems to work fine as do all the GUI audio applications I use like Audacity) Any guidance on how to get Speakup speaking would be greatly appreciated. If there is any documentation that would help I'd also love to know about it. Thanks so much. Stephen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
