-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, as of this message, I made a change to the way speakup installs to kernels 2.6.25 and lower which should fix the floating serial ports issue when speakup and the serial driver are built into the kernel. The issue was that when both speakup and the 8250 serial driver were built in, speakup would initialize first and reserve the serial port for the synthesizer. Then, the 8250 driver would initialize and since speakup would have one port already reserved, the 8250 driver would renumber the ports with higher numbers to one lower than they would be if speakup was not running. If you are using speakup installed into the kernel source and not building as external modules and using a kernel before 2.6.26, you need to start with a fresh kernel tree before doing the update. For 2.6.26, this should not be an issue, since the accessibility drivers are loaded later than the serial driver.
