So, how can I get espeakup to function properly?
The first thing is that you do not emerge speakup; you need to configure it in your kernel. It is part of the staging drivers. Try adding this line to /etc/conf.d/modules: modules="speakup_soft" If you have espeakup installed and you are using the default kernel configuration, this should work. William
