Hi there, I guess you've run into a problem we had a while back where speakup would fail to find a dectalk express even though there was one connected. This is somewhat fixed in cvs, but I suppose the grml people don't have a recent cvs snapshot of speakup. Perhaps we should inform them to check out speakup. Even so, getting dectalk to speak still sometime requires some effort. If it doesn't speak on boot, we occasionally have to type echo dectlk > /proc/speakup/synth_name twice in order to get speech. Hope this helps. Josh
