-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd guess your problem is either with echo none >/proc/speakup/synth_name, with modprobe -r, or with both. I know I've reported problems here in the past about the kernel going bye-bye when echoing none to synth_name, and when modprobing speakup modules. Others have reported modprobe issues here as well, so your report isn't the first, it just serves to confirm that a problem does in fact exist in certain configurations, but not in others, as I've also mentioned in the past. As for why you don't get speech, I would have to guess you don't have software speech configured properly, or are again loading speakup modules before starting speech-dispatcher/speechd-up, causing things to act strange.

I have noticed two things so far; for one thing, I can't hear anything when I start Speech-dispatcher and Speechd-up with Espeak-1.16.
