Hello, Cris.
At the current time gnome-speech does
not have Dectalk Express support. There is a driver I am developing, but I
haven't done much with that project as of late.
For the time being you'll need your sound card
operational so that you can use gnopernicus with a software speech system such
as festival, freetts, or the dectalk software from Fonix.
I'm not certain, but I believe Fedora uses the Red
Hat sndconfig utility for sound card configuration.
If so make sure sndconfig is installed, and run
sndconfig which is a textual dialog based application which will walk you step
by step through the sound configuration.
As for starting gnome you'll need three things. One
make sure the x-windows server is installed properly. Make sure gnome is
installed and set as your default desktop. These questions were probably asked
during the Linux install, and while installing you should have installed x and a
gnome desktop. It is also a good idea to install festival as gnopernicus
generally defaults to festival first. If so you are ready to start up gnome with
accessibility.
Before launching gnome for the first time this
accessibility key must be set. This only needs to be once.
gconftool-2 --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true
Now, type startx and x-windows should
load.
At this point press alt-f2 to get a run
dialog, type gnopernicus, and press enter.
Assuming your sound card is operational, festival
is installed, you should here welcome to gnopernicus.
