This is very interesting. When I ran "modinfo speakup" I was told that there was no Speakup modules and got an error. It was the same generic 3.8.0 kernel. The only thing I can think of is that I was running on Amazon EC2 and perhaps the cloud images for EC2 don't include the Speakup modules, which would make sense I suppose. Why they would use the same generic kernel without including the Speakup modules is a little odd to me though since you can use RDP to get the speech on your local system. Ah well, thanks for the correction. This is good to know. I haven't looked at any other images. Now I'm wondering why they include the 3.1.6 modules in the kernel but they package the 3.1.5 source.
