Hey folks. After getting Gentoo partially installed on a virtual machine in class, I've come to a slight problem. I'm ready to reboot, but before I did that, I thought I'd add in Espeakup before I did. The emerge went fine, but espeakup warned me that speakup.synth=soft wasn't in my kernel. Now this would be a problem, since I'd have no talking system on reboot. I've tried emerging speakup, but Portage didn't like it, because the version in Portage was old.
Here's the Configuration:
Kernel: genkernel compiled
Bootloader: grub2
Disc used: Gentoo minimal
This disc does use speakup.synth=soft, and it was said in the handbook that whatever was in the disc boot options, I'd get with genkernel. How do I resolve this conflict?
Also noteworthy: I've tried a make menuconfig, but the issue with that is that speakup won't say if anything is selected or not, which is a bit dangerous when it comes to kernel compilation.

You said portage doesn't have the latest version of espeakup, did you run emerge --sync first?
Yes, I am still having the same issue. I am curious as to what is going wrong. Is there a way to push a module from the CD and force it in to my kernel?
I've tried Yasr, but I don't think that will be usable with speech-dispatcher. I've gotten espeak, but the problem there is that I need another tool called espeakup, which hooks in to speakup so that it can be used with espeak. I've gotten both espeak and espeakup, but I lack the speakup package. I could, if possible, chroot in to the environment and compile xorg and Gnome, to get there screenreader, Orca.
