Bug in grml?

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not a programmer otherwise I would try to fix it myself.  I 
read something in the change log saying that a problem with a different 
synth was fixed by changing the timeout delay when probing.  It's 
strange because I've not had this particular problem with any other 
kernel, either on a boot CD, floppy, or hard disk.  I can easily send a 
patch to fix the init string, but all that's really necessary is to 
remove the "pe -380" from the commands first sent to the unit.  Maybe 
changing the timeout delay would help, I don't know.  Perhaps this 
particular bug was introduced later in the CVS code for Speakup which 
grml is using.  I can try to test any fixes, but I'm not a programmer 
and would rather avoid trying to compile kernels.
