Yes, the sftsyn is built-in to the kernel it isn't a module. You can try to activate it by saying echo sftsyn > /proc/speakup/synth_name I don't know if this works but try it and see what happens. You also have to create the softsynth device and a few other things mentioned in yesterday's speakup user documentation post. The recommended way is to build the softsyn driver as a module, which will mean you'll have to create a custome kernel. That doesn't mean you can't make what you need to work with the existing speakup you have.Try just changing the synth name first and see if you can run speechd_up as root. If that doesn't work, look for the kernel-package howto. kernel-package is an easy way to build kernels in Debian. If you can't find it, I can send you the link but a search for kernel-package howto or kernel-package documentation should bring it up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 7:05 PM Subject: RE: Building speechd-up Well guess what it seems that the sarge cd does not have the sftsyn module built in to the kernal oh what fun now I got to go and put it in mine. If any one knows the nice wonderful person who put this cd together could some one please ask him to include this as part of the kernel in next release. Also unless it was just mean a full list it seems needs to be maid on the needed packages for speechd-up. Thanks so far for all the help. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of jim grimsby Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 5:48 PM To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'
