-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Chuck I wish it did, but I can't load any of the hardware synth modules. When I try, I get the serial conflict where by Speakup tries to steal the ports from the kernel and can't. I know how to configure Speakup and things like that, but I need to figure out what is going wrong with the serial driver before it will work. I'm horrible at kernel hacking, so I've only gotten it to half work where by the kernel and speakup battle for control of the port constantly. Speakup does talk when I have it do this, but responsiveness is awful. Using either an unchanged staging or clean git, however, just does not work. It is rather irritating, since it did work in 2.6.36 and, examining the configs for both kernels, I can't see anything that even remotely looks related to this.
