All, gentoo-sources-2.6.37 is in our tree. I do not know when it will be marked stable, but I wanted to go ahead and post a message about the upgrade process for speakup users. When you configure a 2.6.37 or newer kernel, you will find speakup in the staging drivers under device drivers in the menu. Be sure to select the speakup core and the synthesizer driver(s) you need. They can either be modules or built in. Once the new kernel is compiled and installed, you should be able to boot normally and have speakup start talking. That is all there is to the upgrade process. If you want to use a kernel older than 2.6.37, you can keep the app-accessibility/speakup package installed, since it will continue to work for older kernels. But, if you are not interested in older kernels, you do not need this package any longer, so you can unmerge it once you are using 2.6.37 successfully. Let me know if you have any questions. --- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead williamh at gentoo.org
