| I had the same problem with my IBM Thinkpad 560Z.
|
| The issue turned out to be that the serial port on  the backplane of the
| Thinkpad was being seen by Linux as ttyS1. Seems the irda port on the
| front plane is ttyS0. So, the fix was to add the following at the boot
| prompt:
|
| speakup_ser=1
|
| so my boot prompt response became:
|
| text speakup_ser=1
|
| That did it.
