Hello, I got the speakupified version of warewolf installed this morning, and installed ttsynth and spk-connector on the system. I followed the manual steps for getting speakup to start and it works just fine. I added the sftsyn to the end of my kernel line in grub.conf, but speakup does not start on boot. Ihave to manually start it. Is there something else I need to do since I a m using a software synthesizer? don raikes | Accessibility Specialist Phone: (520) 271-7608 | Fax: (520) 744-0826 | Mobile: (520) 271-7608 Oracle Application Server QA | ,
