Out of curiosity, what video card makers can debian sid just use out of 
the box without all of this aggravation?  I had a trident vga with this 
machine earlier and if that's a good one, it will be easier to replace a 
monitor and change out a video card than what's going on over here now. 
The common dri stuff compiled and built well enough but modules aren't 
available for kernel 2.6.12-1-speakup-686 that I can find and download 
anywhere.  Next time modules will be available is when that all goes up to 
2.6.17-x and I don't know when that will be.  No, I haven't yet succeded 
in building a kernel and patching it with speakup, when I try that project 
I think will be on a day with nothing else I'm trying to do so if it 
doesn't work, neither does the failure break anything permanently. 
gnopernicus along with gnome-speech and festival can get gnome talking if 
we don't have these video problems to contend with ahead of time.  I can 
sometimes get sighted assistance that's had more experience than I've had 
to date but tonight isn't one of these times and this has been an ongoing 
project for a few months.
