How does the 2.6.24 kernel address block devices? I hear it addresses them very differently. The other question, is the Speakup from Git still using /proc/speakup for now? Or is that over with peranently? I understand things are being moved out of /proc. The other question regarding Speakup is does Speakup still use synth_name? or synth.name? I want to find some oneline documentation about Speakup 3, what's new/different, etc. Regards, --Keith. BTW...the patch for 2.6.24 worked without errors Kirk. No huncks failed. Regards, --Keith
