Hi, Darragh: This email is coming to you via a Speakup Modified 2.6.13 kernel on a dual Opteron (64-bit) box. I've been in 64-bit land with Speakup Modified kernels since June 2004. While we were initially unable to patch FC4, I don't recall ever having a serious problem with FC3. There have been sufficient changes in the kernel that Kirk has had to re-engineer parts of Speakup, though. So, you might want to check with him, and also with Bill Acker who does the Speakup Modified Fedora kernels. Darragh writes: > Hello, > > I'm having problems getting speakup running on this machine. I've recently upgraded to a 64 bit laptop running SuSE 9.3. I was able to get speakup running on a Laptop with a pentium M processor and a Desktop with a Pentium 4 3 GHZ with HT processor but this one really doesn't like me. > > I've downloaded the 2.6.13 kernel from www.kernel.org and when I try to patch speakup into it I get errors about a missing file. However, Entries to speakup are still found where their suppose to be. During make I get more error messages. A friend tells me that this is most likely because speakup hasn't been developed for a 64 bit system but I find that hard to believe. > > Can someone help? I need to get this machine up and running as soon as possible as I use it as for testing and without it I am absolutely lost. > > Thanks > > Darragh > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
