Speakup and Linux 2.6.24 - Almost Got It Working

[Robert Spangler]

Kirk,

I recompiled the kernel including Speakup as modules.  I am able to log in 
and do modprobe speakup_ltlk start=1
I have both the softsynth and ltlk compiled as modules.  I can try compiling 
one (ltlk) into the kernel and the softsynth as a module and see if that 
fixes anything.  Could it be that compiling them both into the kernel could 
be causing an issue?  Guess it's worth experimenting.  So, yes, I am able to 
get speech by loading it as a module but I wish to hear start-up 
messages--that is the beauty of Speakup!!
