Ok, so I've built the new kernel. I have a braille 'n speak connected to ttyS0. I'm wanting to try the on-board serial port first, before I move to a usb to serial converter. With only the speakup_main module loaded out of the speakup modules, I type in: modprobe speakup_bns ser=0 start=1 and get back: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'speakup_bns': No such device The relevant dmesg output is: "[ 82.864734] speakup_bns: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [ 82.865621] synth probe [ 82.865626] Ports not available, trying to steal them [ 82.865635] Unable to allocate port at 3f8, errno -16 [ 82.865637] Braille 'N Speak: not found [ 82.865638] bns: device probe failed" The modinfo output is: "filename: /lib/modules/4.10.9/kernel/drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_bns.ko version: 2.11 license: GPL description: Speakup support for Braille 'n Speak synthesizers author: David Borowski author: Kirk Reiser <kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> srcversion: AD55A47746A5B337C0BBEEE depends: speakup staging: Y intree: Y vermagic: 4.10.9 SMP mod_unload modversions 686 parm: ser:Set the serial port for the synthesizer (0-based). (int) parm: start:Start the synthesizer once it is loaded. (short)" I thought all the drivers were ported to use the new tty layer support. Is this not the case?
