I happened to find out about the issue with CVS Speakup and kernel 2.6.16 first
hand.  As it turns out, for some reason my laptop refuses to run kernel 2.6.17,
however 2.6.16 works great.  So I tried to patch the 2.6.16 source with the
latest Speakup and got about 10 or more failures.  I had to use trial and error
to pick the right date to patch 2.6.16 because I couldn't remember the date when
the revision was made that allowed Speakup to patch 2.6.17.  As it turns out, if
you set the revision date to 20060618, (June 18th), your 2.6.16 kernel will
patch with no trouble at all.

You also may want to consider moving to 2.6.17, but as I mentioned, it could be
problematic on some machines.  It works flawlessly on my tower, but spews some
text I can't read on my laptop (which doesn't have a serial port and needs
softsynth), and shuts down without even mounting any partitions from the hard
disk.

HTH,
Lorenzo
