I don't understand though why > you're specifying the synth name. If you run modinfo speakup, and look Me either--the way you describe is how I used to do it now that you've dredged the memory for me. However, I'm not specifying the synth like that--Samuel's squeeze install image set it up that way, for reasons which I assume were good at the time. I'll try doing it as you suggest. (it's been a long time since I had to set one of these up, and I've obviously forgot several things) Anyway, I've now tried it, and it doesn't work. speakup and speakup_soft are loaded. the config file which came with the kernel, claims that all of speakup is modularized. Kernel is 2.6.32-5-686 SMP. Also, it has the paste-hangs-system-sometimes problem, which is very bad. It seems to be version 3.1.5, according to /sys/speakup/version. Luke
