MAXIMUM_LINEAR_SPEED is not in the INI section of the pdf, but MAXIMUM_LINEAR_VELOCITY is, so added that to the [DISPLAY] section of 7i90.ini That locks up trying to open the axis display on this machine. paste: note: MAXV max: 1.500 units/sec 90.000 units/min note: LJOG max: 1.500 units/sec 90.000 units/min note: LJOG default: 1.500 units/sec 90.000 units/min note: jog_order='XZ' note: jog_invert=set([]) libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau This squawk, I was also seeing when starting the sim, so I suspect its a red herring. And at that point I have to power cycle the pi to recover, although the blinking green led tells me its not crashed. The sim.axis did work although it was extremely slow, both at opening the original screen, then at least another 5 seconds to fully paint it, and the display refresh rate was about 1/second. Power cycle done, log in, start the share R_Pi_nc_files and see if sim.axis will still display here. Yes, very slow to init, but works. That shows on the launch terminal: Machine configuration file is 'lathe.ini' Starting LinuxCNC... Found file(LIB): /usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/basic_sim.tcl setup_kins: cmd=loadrt trivkins coordinates=xz Waiting for component 'trivkins' to become ready..Waited 3 seconds for master. giving up.

So now, see whats different that keeps the real thing from puttering along like the sim can. Maybe the hdmi adapters will arrive in another 4 hours. Thank you Matsche.
