OK, so I tried the latest speakup git with kernel 2.6.25 gentoo
sources and the following happened:
I had speakout module built in and soft and dectalk express as
modules. Now the first time I booted, I let it talk without pressing
any keys and it eventually hung somewhere, i.e. lost speech and the
system was dead or crashed. Then I rebooted and for quite a while --
unlike my present kernel which is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 and a speakup git
of about 2 month ago -- I could get no keyboard access for some time,
although it did eventually appear. Then the system came up normally,
except that I had an app which could not initialize a modem
successfully for some reason, so I went back to the former kernel and
speakup. The app is called bbbs which I use to control modem events.
I suppose I could use cron, but this is much more convenient.
Any thoughts?
