Nick, How come you did not get a current kernel version? I am not sure your kernel version is supported by speakup. Here is a quote from the speakup installation instructions prepared by Gene Collins: Kernel versions supported are 2.4.26 or later, and 2.6.10 or later, as of Thu Apr 14 15:31:00 2005. I am not sure where you go from here. Chuck On Sat, 14 May 2005, Nick Gawronski wrote: > Hi, I have fedora core 3 and just installed a new kernel from kernel.org with > speakup latest cvs version.
