I've scanned the archives and tried everything I have read but my serial ports are still very slow. I'm running some CableEye software and connected to a cable tester via ttyS0. I've migrated an old p3 box to a newer (still old but) Dual P4 2.2GZ processor. Everything works but the serial port is too slow. The old p3 would test a cable in a second. Now in the emulator it takes 8 seconds to test the same cable. I have tried these 2 combos with no luck $_ports = " device /dev/null range 0x3f8 0x3ff fast" # $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" and #$_ports = " device /dev/null range 0x3f8 0x3ff fast" $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" They act the same. How can I get this thing to sing?
When using the 2 config entries below "and" the -s option "as root" the serial port speeds up to almost what it should be. It now takes 2 seconds to test the cable. That is good however, using the -s option seems to force some sort of full screen and the "ega" graphics is then broken. Without the -s option my window is as I define it in the config file and "ega" graphics works OK.
$_ports = " device /dev/null range 0x3f8 0x3ff fast" # $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" Please help Thanks Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
