The first thing is that you do not emerge speakup; you need to configure |
| 13 |
it in your kernel. It is part of the staging drivers. |

Try adding this line to /etc/conf.d/modules: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
modules="speakup_soft" |
| 18 |
|

If you have espeakup installed and you are using the default kernel |
| 20 |
configuration, this should work. |
