Would somebody who has dectalkRT running with speech-dispatcher and speakup mind recapitulating exactly what you did so i can try to figure out what is wrong? I had it working briefly, but now the only module that will work for me is flite, though according to the log all the output modules are being loaded. I'm a little skeptical as to what that means, since as far as I know i don't even have whatever epos is. I did find out, by the way, that apparently sd_generic can be loaded multiple times with different programs, so that part is ok. I wonder if my problem has anything at all to do with the message I get when booting about being unable to initialize miscdevice /dev/synth. also, can you tell me where on your system the sd_ modules are located? The speechd.conf mentions a possible bin directory, but a search reveals the sd-flite and other sd_ modules only in /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules. Interestingly, even though flite is working, when I dropped "sd-flite" for the full path to the sd in /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules I got an error about not being able to find it. So I'm wondering if I should have these somewhere else also, and I'm wondering what path is being called when I use "sd_flite" in the speechd.conf. I've been through the emails in the speakup archive several times looking for answers. I did install my speech-dispatcher and flite packages with debian; the speech-dispatcher daemon is definitely running and speechd_up does start according to the logs, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something or messed something up when I recompiled my kernel, though the only thing I changed was speakup options. I'm getting really frustrated, but since I know i had dectalk working the other night, I'm sure it can be done. By the way, dectalk and festival both still work fine by themselves.
