Just to be sure: really, nobody is trying hard to break speakup. It's just a side effect of Speakup doing things in a way which is really not supported. When there are changes in the main code, it has side effects on speakup. Plugging properly into the serial as a line discipline drivers would avoid the issue entirely. > Something just occured to me...

If you write a USB driver that pokes port, then it'll be disturbed by the rest of the kernel. > Everybody who has serial only synths would still be screwed but it'd be a > step forward. No, it'd be just a step aside. Samuel _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
