Hi,

If you want to make Gnopernicus use only the festival driver you have to
rename the other drivers from the directory where Gnome Speech drivers
are built  (libdir/bonobo/servers, where "libdir" is the path where the
libraries for Gnome Speech are installed). 

In this directory, each driver starts with
"GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_" followed by the name of the driver.
Rename all the drivers, except the festival driver which is
"GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server".

After that, you have to restart your computer.
