serial synths and speakup

[John Heim]

I'm guessing you mean speakup worked with software speech after you finished 
the install.  I don't think speakup ever worked with serial synths since its 
been in the kernel. With squeeze, you could install a package of kernel 
modules. That package worked with serial synths.

I had to give up on wheezy because I couldn't get sound to work in gnome and 
therefore couldn't use orca.  But speakup worked fine with software speech 
and it worked with my hardware synth after I recompiled the kernel with my 
patch.
