Does a cat /dev/ttyS0 produce anything ? Or maybe it somehow messed up the comm parameters ? (baud rate, ...) If everything seems to be still ok, no gpm was loaded, but when loading gpm it still misbehaves, then it is a highly interesting problem :) -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://home.arcor.de/andi.mohr/
