SCREEN PROBLEM WITH ERGO BRICK

SCREEN PROBLEM WITH ERGO BRICK

Post by Rodney Smi » Tue, 04 May 1993 18:08:35



Hi All, I just installed V.011 SLS on an Ergo Brick with an LCD
monochrome monitor. It seems that after "x" number of lines I get a
split display of previous screen output. The only way to "reset" the
screen is to hit enter a few times until I clear a buffer (I think). At
any rate it works and I get a normal display again. When I was prompted
for video mode I chose 80x25. I'm not sure if this is the cause or not.
Does this problem sound familar to anyone out there ? I'm sure I have
something configured incorrectly but I'm not quite sure what.

1. Hardware flow control problem (banging head against brick wall)

Hope someone can put me out of my misery.

I am writing a program to try and use hwflow (CTS/RTS) on linux
(kernel 2.4.3)
When CTS drops linux still sends data. I am using these port settings,
and opening the port with O_NONBLOCK, when I get a connect message I
turn O_NONBLOCK off. I always select() the port before
sending/receiving data. I have tried using tcdrain(), sending a byte
at a time and using O_SYNC with the open.
I also seem to get the same problem with SCO too.
If I set the port to 115200, rather than 38400 it makes no difference
at all.
Yet if I turn HWflow off at 115200 the serial port gets garbage, so it
seems
to some extent hwflow is working, but not if the modem at the other
end causes the CTS to drop. All cabling is correct and has been
rechecked.

I have 2 USR 3com 56k faxmodem (external) all uarts are ok
modem settings are OK I think and are the same at both ends.
