I assume sound is basically working on your box but only the speakup
module isn't activated. To activate it add the cheatcode swspeak to
the append line of your lilo configuration (/etc/lilo.conf).
Example:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-grml
label="2.6.15-grml"
append="grml_from_hd swspeak"
read-only
vga=0x0317
brltty should work the same way using:
brltty=type,port,table
Adjust the parameters for your braille device and add the cheatcode
to the append line of lilo.conf then. Don't forget to run lilo after
adjusting lilo.conf. ;-)
Of course you can start brltty manually as well or start it up via
your own init script.
