-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I'm sure the initramfs is being used because when I added the spkout module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, speech came quite a bit earlier in the boot sequence. The only other thing I can possibly guess is X had not been installed at that time. I am now in the process of installing gnome (I chose the entire gnome desktop) and perhaps more x stuff is needed to fully use framebuffers. I've been anxious to get gnome/orca going anyway so am about to give up on getting framebuffer support going in the plain text console environment. Oh, the 'most' option is specified in the initrd config file so you're right; framebuffers are supposed to be chosen but I see no mention of fb or framebuffer in dmesg at all. So I really don't have a clue. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkkByEEACgkQWSjv55S0LfEF+ACgvFxRLPXvHGCMXpl743pouNez /nYAoJswaH6u/M1YuNBXUvz3z3lwS9Pe =a0+o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
