Hi Mick - thanks for the response - I checked into the stuff from that |
| 41 |
earlier thread, inserted the entries specified, and it did no good at |
| 42 |
all, im beginning to suspect that it is something to do with the gateway |
| 43 |
bios, as all my gateway gentoo machines do it, and none respond to the |
| 44 |
commands in xorg.conf. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thanks for the tip on minicom -- I will look into that one for sure -- I |
| 48 |
use SSH constantly, I need this connection only for switches and UPS |
| 49 |
serial port connections -- they are a last backup in case the Ethernet |
| 50 |
goes down |
