specifying a synthe at the boot prompt

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi again:

Taking this one step further, from kind of a newbie who realizes this must
have been asked before..

I started out wiht an Accent SA synthesizer, now I'd rather use my
DoubleTalk LT, so I went to /etc/lilo.conf and modified the last line to
read:

append="speakup_synth=ltlk"

Now, when I reboot, the DoubleTalk LT does come up talking, but the very
first words I hear from it are that it found an Accent-SA synth, and if I go
to /proc/speakup to try and tweak settings like rate, volume and the like,
they don't seem to have any effect.  Is lilo.conf really the file I need to
modify here, or is there something else.  By the way, this is RedHat 7 we're
working with.

Thanks for all the help.
Pete
