If you are using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to load the soft synth module, the line should look like: speakup_soft start=1 Or, if you are loading it manually, modprobe speakup_soft start=1 Then go ahead and run speechd-up. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead williamh at gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgbr2wACgkQblQW9DDEZTh6HgCaAptWF7YB8190BDOfRz9Z5/S2 qbkAnjhKqjxu/UnGIOx9t8lig+tikKq0 =1ymU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
