-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I used the same shell script I've always been using. The only thing that really changed was Speakup version; wonder if that could have anything to do with it? I echo "none" to /proc/speakup/synth_name unload any modules then start speechd-up and speech dispatcher in proper order and then echo sftsyn to synth_name again. Oops, I am raddling this off the top of my head but I think speakup's synth is being set first and then speechd-up is started. No matter, I'm using the same script I used a month or two ago and it worked then but not now <sigh>. Maybe I'll have to go and try and run each of those steps manually with a second or two to spare between each. I'm just baffled that it can't find /dev/softsynth when it is *REALLY THERE*.
