No, no text is getting out the serial port either. While we're at it we should stuff Speakup in there for those people who don't have braille displays since it's a simple kernel patch. I think that getting software synth working would be a bit hard to do because we'd have to find the user's soundcard but the hardware synhs are easy you just build those into the kernel and make sure the default is none so that if the user didn't specify a synh at boot time you get no speakup. But yeah, I will test to see that brltty works for you. To get text sent out the serial port just add serial=0,9600N8 to the boot loader configuration. That will send text out the first serial port at 9600 baud with no parity and 8 databits. That's the default for most people's synths and braille displays. And framebuffer consoles will not cause havoc with speakup or BRLTTY either from what I can gather since I'm using one right now so that's not a problem. So let me know what you need help with and I'll give this a hack. I should compile an x86_64 livecd too actually now that I think about it.
