Great. thanks, now that I know its possible I'll stick with it. I got brlty working today which is a start but I miss speakup! At the moment I don't have access to cvs. do you think getting the latest version of speakup would resolve this? If so could someone send it to me? The version I have now is 2.0 from the linux-speakup.org site.

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?
