Sounds like you didn't read the debian installation manual, or didn't look at wiki.debian.org/accessibility. In the case of a USB braille display, brltty detects it automatically. In the case of serial displays, the debian installation manual describes how to pass the appropriate options to brltty when starting the installer. As far as speakup hardware synthesizers, they're also supported. You need to press tab, space, and type speakup.synth=xxx at the boot prompt, where xxx is speakup's designation for your synthesizer. > > Can it be that some installer person has decided to combine all > accessibility drivers into one installation option and one > kernel, whether they work together or not? Yes, everything is together in one kernel, and I can assure you they do all work together, brltty, hardware synthesizers, and all. > > It occurs to me that a hung kernel stuck issuing an error message > like that might stop the whole system from talking, > Since brltty is not a module, I cannot even use > brltty.blacklist=yes.

Brltty isn't in the kernel, it is entirely in user space as far as I know.
