-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I think I'm on to something. I'm sorking this machine by remote ssh session so can't be totally sure but What I see so far is the sftsyn module is not being auto loaded when echoing "sftsyn" to /proc/speakup/synth_name. That used to work. when I echoed "sftsyn" to /proc..., the value did not stick; as soon as I modprobed speakup_sftsyn, then the /proc variable got updated. Is this change by design? do we have to explicitely modprobe speakup modules now or am I missing something some place. I don't recall seeing keyhelp in there either but that's for another discussion:). if it is by design, I'll just add the modprobe line into my rc.speakup script and it'll be all good.
