invalid module format for speakup modules

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Greg:

Basically that just means that you compiled against the wrong something 
or another (though I can't be sure what it is). What I did (I have no 
clue what you went through) is just changed the KERNELDIR variable in 
the makefile. if you are running in a grml system, you'll just need to 
replace what would return from uname-r with the actual kernel name and 
leave the rest, then just do a make clean, then make and make 
modules_install.

HTH,
Ty
