Conflict with Emacspeak?

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  If you're trying to get emacspeak to use the same synth as speakup,
you will need to boot using a kernel without speakup for emacspeak to use it.
The print screen key doesn't unload speakup, it just stops it from doing
anything on the current console.  Since speakup got the synth when the
system booted, no other screen reader can use it.  Speakup does have a
way to let other programs talk to the synth, but the other programs will
have to be written to use it.
