All, I am getting the same error message when trying to load the speakup_apollo module that I got when trying to load the speakup_ltlk module. The syslog has a line that says "Trying to free nonexistent resource". I don't have an apollo synth but I don't think its even getting to the point of not finding that particular synth. This bug happens only on 64 bit hardware. Is anyone successfully using a 2.6.39 or greater kernel with a hardware speech synthesizer on a 64 bit machine? It looks to me as if this bug should effect more than the speakup_ltlk module. It happens with a stock debian 2.6.39 kernel , a grml 3.1 kernel, and a 3.2.2 kernel I compiled myself.
