How to ship the speakup drivers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Currently in Slint 15.0 all speakup drivers are shipped as modules.

So far, so good, but ...

A user equipped with a DoubleTalk (driver speakup-ltlk) would like to edit the
GRUB command line of the installer so this device be available early.

He could append speakup.synth=ltlk to the kernel command line if speakup was
built-in (as indicated in Documentation/adminguide/spkguide.txt) but this is not
the case currently here (Linux 6.0.5 at time of writing if that matters).

Another possibility is to tell dracut to put all speakup modules in the
initramfs it generates, in which case a user could append for instance
rd.driver.pre='speakup_ltlk" to the command line.

However...

1. Are there other ways to get the same result, without changing how the drivers
are provided?
2. Are there inconveniences to have the main speakup driver built-in the kernel?
And in this case should the other drivers also built-in?

Thanks for any clue.

Cheers,
Didier
