I am running a speakup modified Ubuntu 2.6.10 kernel here, and according to my kernel config, that option doesn't even exist. Hoewver I still experience what you have described with DecTalk. Sometimes when displaying a fresh page of an email for example, only a couple of letters are read out at a time. However, it is not hard to work around, and doesn't really bother me. I am running a development version of the distro as it is. :) - -- Luke Get my public GPG key here: http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQLLujVefwtBjIM4RAh4gAKCA31mRkJ5HXBbB6flsxqXeo7TkwgCfU//A +8iJVRAkiS0aXOxEYdTmdLY= =4pJ7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
