To review the bidding, 1) you built the binaries for LinuxCNC 2.6.0~pre on openSUSE 11.3 and they work on both openSUSE 11.3 and 12.1. 2) you built the binaries for LinuxCNC 2.5 on openSUSE 12.1 and they don't work (in the sense that nothing appears in the Axis backplot window). I wish I had a guaranteed resolution but without access to your system I can only conjecture. Axis is built with Python and TkInter. Looking at the package lists, openSUSE 11.3 shipped with version 2.6.5 of Python and TkInter (as did Ubuntu 10.04LTS) and openSUSE 12.1 shipped with version 2.7.2. The TkInter resource/package is named python-tk. I'm known for searching for my lost car keys under the streetlight even though I dropped them elsewhere because under the streetlight is where I can see. Nevertheless, were I at your keyboard, I'd be looking for suspects in the Python-Tk-graphics subsystem chain. I wish I knew Tk and TkInter well enough to be able to suggest a simple test. Good hunting, Bob.
