Data gets sent to the active screen, so if I focus a gedit window or terminal, I get carriage returns. Other windows seem to select the default button, so shutdown just cancels. Ctl-Alt-Del doesn't work. Eventually the PC freezes and I pull the plug. I should probably test the serial port and transfer a few bytes before going into the polling loop, but I haven't figured out how to reproduce the problem at will, so verifying the solution could be a problem. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
