Hi all: Since we're on the subject of thinkpads, I've got a bit of a poser too. First, I've tried a few different distros on this critter, and here's the thing... I can get grml to boot, but, it doesn't pick up the doubletalk when I specify it to the grml prompt, however, when I am finished booting, and echo it to /proc/speakup/synth_name, it comes right up. So, I thought I'd try it with slackware, and no dice, even after the boot process completes, I know it completes because I can run the eject command and it releases the cd from the drive. Is this a bios problem, or is there someplace else I should be looking? By the way, I did get the 6.1 ubuntu to work too, but I like my text console better just now... any help would be most welcome, as I'm running xp right now, I kinda' liked it when I found out that xp won't even see a linux partition so now I know that when I reinstall it on this beast I can do a duel-boot on it and use it to test the linux version of Audio Quake and still play my winders-based games too...
