Are you saying you can't get your doubletalk to work at all or only if you load the speakup_sot module before loading the speakup_ltlk module? I don't know if I've ever tried that. But I have a 64 bit machine running squeeze and another running wheezy. Speakup works with my doubletalk on either machine if I load the speakup_ltlk module directly. On the squeeze, I'm running a kernel from squeeze-backports and on the wheezy machine, I'm running the stock kernel. Here is what uname -r says on each; squeeze: 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 wheezy: 3.2.0-4-amd64 My doubletalk also works with the 64-bit grml live CD. As I said, I'm not entirely sure I ever tried loading the speakup_ltlk module after speakup_soft. I would have to say that I have though because I put speakup_soft in /etc/modules so it loads during boot.
