Okay, I think I have a udev rule that will work for your synth. You need to download my rules file and restart udev to try it. These instructions should work for debian systems (and probably for ubuntu). Note that you should make sure your synth is turned off or disconnected and that the speakup module for your synth is not loaded before trying this. If the module is already loaded, it won't be a very good test, wil it? The rules file at the URL below supports 2 synths, DecTalk & TripleTalk. 1. cd /etc/udev/rules.d 2. wget http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/10-speakup.rules 3. /etc/init.d/udev restart (or reboot) 4. Turn on or plug in your synth. It doesn't really matter which cable you plug in first but for best effect, you should connect the serial cable first and then the USB cable. Or you could turn it off before beginning step 1 and then turn it back on. Or you could just reboot. PS: I had to assume the speakup module for your synth is speakup_dectlk. If that is incorrect, let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz Hare" <doggene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, January 13, 2012 10:39 AM Subject: Re: hardware synth, USB, and udev -- Dectalk > > >> lsusb, run it before and after plugging it, and see what changes. > > Thanks, Samuel.
