Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
Just tried this on the 10.0 live dvd, but didn't get anything. Back in |
4 |
my ssh shell I tried modprobe speakup to get the exact message. Here's |
5 |
what I get: |
6 |
FATAL: Error inserting speakup (/lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r6/speakup/speakup.ko |
7 |
): Invalid module format |
8 |
So maybe speakup wasn't built correctly? But if I remember right |
9 |
there's a message in the gentoo-accessibility archives that recommends |
10 |
the 10.0 live dvd. Hmm. |
11 |
So do I need to rebuild speakup? Or am I missing something? Can I |
12 |
still get speakup to work on this dvd? |
13 |
|
14 |
Thanks for your help. PS: I'm using a 32 bit pc, if it helps. |
