Greetings! My understanding is that the kernel now includes Speakup, and figured this would be true of the version of the kernel used in Fedora 15. I therefore hoped that I could boot up the live CD so that it would use Speakup with my TripleTalk LT. So, when the CD was booting, I hit tab, typed speakup.synth=ltlk as I would have when using the rescue CD of the speakup-modified variants of earlier Fedora releases, and hit enter. The CD apparently booted, but there was no speech out of my synthesizer. I tried typing a space after tabbing, as I used to have to do. It didn't work. If I typed "text" or "text linux" before typing the speakup.synth=ltlk parameter, it stopped booting the CD and booted from the hard drive instead. I could not get Orca to work, either. My Linux machine has one of those sound cards that gets muted, it seems. Orca also failed to come up even on my Windows machine, though, which is much newer and whose sound card *does* talk with, say, revent versions of Vinux. Has anybody gotten the Fedora 15 live CD to use Speakup with a hardware synth? Alternatively, has anybody done it with the Blag spin-off of Fedora, which the Free Software Foundation includes among those distributions of which it approves as completely free? Thanks for any advice. Al
