Is this in answer to my question about setting speakup to use ttyS1 at the command line? I'm not sure because the subject line is similar but not the same. I specifically was asking if it can be set at the command line because setting the speakup parameters in the bootloader config hangs my system. Although, maybe you're saying I cant set speakup_ser via a boot parameter, leave out speakup_synth, and then later initialize the synth at the command line. Is that what you're saying? I tried it. It didn't work. Although, maybe it is supposed to work and my computer is messed up.
