Sounds like SpeakUp is not really a module, but a reworking of the kernel. If SpeakUp were implemented more as a module...can't modules be loaded from the lilo/grub boot prompt? If so, then it could be included as a kernel module, loaded at startup by those who need it...I really need to see the code. <sighs> I'm thinking if it were a module that simply works with the kernal, there'd be less resistance to adding it to the source. Does the kernal support dual monitors? It could possibly be implemented in a similar manner...if Linus already has implemented something similar. Just follow his example...use his own code against him, in a manner of speaking. <grins> We could also get him really, really drunk and tell him that he was the one who wrote it. I could also threaten to marry his sister? It would be worth it. Michael
