udev rules to load speakup drivers

All,


I wrote some udev rules for loading speakup drivers for synths that have 
a USB connection. Speakup does not speak through the USB port but udev 
can load the speakup drivers if it sees a hardware synth on a USB port. 
Right now, it works only for the Access Solutions Tripletalk and Dectalk 
synths. If anyone wants to send me the manufacturer and product ID 
strings for other synths, I'd be glad to add them. You can download my 
udev rules file thusly:


$ sudo wget -O /etc/udev/rules.d/10-speakup.rules 
http://www.iavit.org/~john/debian/10-speakup.rules


This morning I took a fresh debian install, installed the kernel from my 
iavit.org web site, configured these udev rules, and rebooted and my 
machine came up talking with my Tripletalk synth. Very nice.

The next thing I'd like to do is remaster a grml iso with my patched 
kernel and these udev rules. That would give us a live distro that would 
come up talking via a hardware synth.
