Did you try to change the Heartbeat (SQE) on the Transceiver ? (There should be a switch on the Transceiver for that). > > BTW, FX4/FX6 is NOT supported yet (well STPcon > > should work, but not STP-fb, so no X11 yet)! Sorry for the misspellings!

The support was introduced in recent kernels. STI-con and STI-fb (for C2xx) are NOT supported in the kernel shipped with 0.9.3! You have to install 0.9.3 using the serial console, update & recompile the kernel (and better do a 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' aswell), and then you can try using STIcon. Be sure you selected STI-console and STI-framebuffer in the kernel configuration! Hope this helps, greetings Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
