edgy not working on laptop

[Pasanen Teemu]

I installed edgy to my laptop and after some modification I managed to
get orca working. The first problem was with the sound, but you can
easily just see if they are only muted by default. Open terminal and
type 'alsamixer', see if any sound configuration is muted. I got sounds
back via this simple operation (after searched answers from different
web sites for a half a day). Ou, I installed dapper first and upgraded
it to edgy.

Problem after this with orca was that the speech comes with small delay
when operating system with orca. Haven't really figured that out.
Shutdown from laptop has to be done after you have logged off and in
login screens, otherwise you just have options to save power, suspend
etc.

I can't run Edgy with speech on my laptop even when I run Ubuntu Live 
and then try to run Orca.
It works on my desktop although I am still confused about some of the 
questions asked about keystrokes and if I need to logout, I can't seem 
to be able to do that CTRL ALT delete to do it or even have speech to 
enable me to access the menus to be able to logout.
