Speakup and Suse 9.3 Professional

[Janina Sajka]

We tried patching Speakup into a Suse kernel on two separate occasions
and were ultimately unsuccessful. We were able to get the kernel patched
and able to get Speakup to speak initially during boot, but the kernel
Oops'd, and we never got beyond that.

We also tried Brltty on Suse with mixed results, but this was before I
understood about suse-blinux.
