Hi, I was able to extract the kmod-staging rpm following this instructions: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-extract-an-rpm-package-without-installing-it.html Then I copied all speakup related files to the place, where the rpm was supposed to extract them. However, modprobe says it couldn't find speakup_soft module and insmod says that speakup_soft.ko is in invalid module format. Then I've downloaded the source of kernel 4.2.6 from kernel.org and was eble to compile the speakup module alone following this instructions: http://askubuntu.com/questions/168279/how-do-i-build-a-single-in-tree-kernel-module This time I've copied the speakup*.ko files under /usr/lib/modules/4.2.6..../drivers/staging/speakup/ Again, modprobe says it couldn't find speakup_soft module and insmod says that speakup_soft.ko is in invalid module format. Hmmmph, after executing depmod, this time modprobe says: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'speakup_soft': Exec format error At least it detects it this time. I'm using kernel with the PAE patch - is it possible that PAE brakes things? I'll reboot into the non-PAE version of the same kernel now to check if it works there.
