In order to get this working with the new system I had to do a little |
| 13 |
hacking in /etc/init.d/speechdup. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Specifically at top level |
| 16 |
SPEAKUPDIR=/sys/module/speakup/parameters # Not /proc/speakup |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
and in load_speakup() |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
echo soft > ${SPEAKUPDIR}/synth #which used to read echo sftsyn |
| 21 |
|

I have no idea how, but people who want this to work for kernels |
| 23 |
>=gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r1 need these in /etc/init.d/speechd-up, |
| 24 |
and people who want the pre 2.6.25 need the way it is as of this morning |
| 25 |
Which had the following at the top if it helps. |
