-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I have a very simple question. I know I could find the answer out myself by trial and error, but I thought I'd ask here, so as to save myself from having to rebuild my kernel multiple times. What I'd like to know is simply if I understand the following correctly, or not. If you build speakup as modules, you can switch from synth to synth, but you lose the ability to have speakup come up as soon as possible, before the file systems get mounted, (this assumes you aren't using an initrd). If you build spkglue, and speakup into the kernel, you'll get speech as soon as possible, and you can still switch to another synth by loading its module later on, but the only way to switch back to a built-in synth as of now is to reboot the machine. Do I have this right, and if so, am I correct also in assuming that this gives more weight to the argument for using an initrd, as opposed to not using one? Also, since /proc/speakup/synth_name, or an equivalent doesn't exist as of now, is the best way to check if a synth is already loaded or not in a script by doing a grep against lsmod, or is there a better way? Finally, does the version of speakup currently in git support usb to serial converters, and other nonstandard ports, or is that still to come? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask anyway. As always, thanks in advance.
