Kirk, You said: I was trying to figure out how to modify speakup to be able to talk to standard devices instead of special devices because I thought that was what was expected by the kernel hacker community. I found out about two weeks ago that was not was expected and in fact is verboden. Could you elaborate on this a bit, why should it be forbidden to write to standard devices, because that should only be done in user space? If console output can already write to the USB bus (generic-serial, usb-serial), it would seem that speakup needs to be in-between those, console to speakup then speakup to usb-serial. You said: We have developed a usb driver for the 2.4.x kernels which is a standard device driver like the dtlk driver under the character devices. We don't have it for the 2.6.x kernels yet Is this 2.4 driver currently part of the distribution on cvs, and if not could I possibly get the source to try this? I would like to try output to what appears as a generic usb serial device on the system. I may be able to devote some time to working on 2.6 support in the future. Thanks, Doug
