Yes, that's a Ubuntu problem which should now be fixed. It doesn't start
automatically in Ubuntu by default.

Hmm, it finds speakup_dtlk fine here. It says it's version 2.10 and
supports the Doubletalk PC.

No, it's definitely speakup_dtlk.

I tested it with 1 GB of memory, so this is helpful. I would expect it not
to be very responsive. The CD image uploading now will hopefully help.

Yes, the more testing it gets, the better. I don't think it's going to run
on a machine with less memory, but it's worth a try. New CD images are
uploading which should address the Braille display problem. I don't know
why it can't find speakup_dtlk since it's definitely shipped in the kernel.
