-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hey, that is really informative. I see where that got added to /etc/modules. I commented that line out which originally loaded speakup_spkout module. Now when I boot, I could manually load speakup_soft and follow immediately with espeakup to get things going. But once I do that, I still cannot use talkwith script to switch synths on the fly. For whatever reason, echoing the new synth name won't stick in the parameter variable, nor will it load the respective module. The talkwith script echos none to the synth variable and that takes effect and speakup stops bu the only synth that I can echo back in and successfully launch is the same one that I previously unloaded. It's like the modules aren't unloading or something. On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 03:12:45AM -0700, Tony Baechler wrote: > Hi, > > I'm deleting your long post.
