-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm not aware of the quiet parameter being dropped, so I guess it's still there. You need to pass it when loading the speakup module. On a debian squeeze system, I have a file called speakup.conf in /etc/modprobe.d, which reads in part: # options for speakup options speakup quiet=1 This is the speakup that comes with squeeze, not the latest one, and it works for me as expected.
