Hi everyone. I've just joined this list and wonder if anyone can help |
2 |
to resolve the following query: |
3 |
|
4 |
I have been running a 64-bit installation of Gentoo for some time now, |
5 |
but am considering changing to a 32-bit installation so as to have |
6 |
access to applications such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Realplayer and |
7 |
possibly Wine. I have downloaded and burned the Gentoo Live CD - |
8 |
release 2008.0-r1 for the X86 architecture. The CD appears to boot |
9 |
correctly, but try as I might, I cannot get Speakup to work with my |
10 |
Dectalk USB. To install my 64-bit version of Gentoo, I used the Gentoo |
11 |
Live CD release 2007.0 for the X86_64 architecture. At the bootloader |
12 |
command prompt, I typed the following: |
13 |
|
14 |
gentoo speakup_synth=dectlk speakup_ser=0 |
15 |
|
16 |
and Speakup worked fine from then on. Try as I might, I have been |
17 |
unable to achieve this using the Gentoo Live CD release 2008.0-r1 and |
18 |
would be very grateful for any advice. I realise that Speakup can be |
19 |
made to work with software synthesizers such as Festival and it may be |
20 |
that this is the way forward. I am, however, totally in the dark as to |
21 |
how to do this, so any advice would be very much appreciated. |
22 |
|
23 |
Many thanks for any help. |
