Hi, I am really using 2.6.18 kernel, miss typed the number. If I rebuild the speakup kernel image package the way shane built it what is the command he uses to build the sources into a binary and do I need to do the make config or will makekpkg do this automatically? Will it make a different package for modules and kernel or just one as I want my kernel in one package not two? I know I need to recompile the kernel to change that option but is there a way speakup could be coded where that option would not have an effect on software synthisizers like flite? Does the debian kernel that shane built have software synthisizer support? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" <myrowa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 8:03 PM Subject: Re: small speakup and debian issues > On Tue, 13 Mar 2007, Nick Gawronski wrote: > >> Hi, I am using speakup with debian etch with 2.4.18 kernel as found at >> people.debian.org/~shane and find that if I type a capital letter the >> dectalk's speech drops pitch and I need to turn off and on the express >> before pitch is restored the way I like it and the rate. > > So, it's not a hardware bug in the Dectalk USB after all as I had assumed. > It happens to me with the Dectalk USB particularly when I try to review > rapidly.
