Thanks John and Andrew. Bonus, I did not realize I could use Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).
Eric Developer (master) version does exactly what you need. It also has sync homing. See http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-homing.html#_home_sequence You can install master branch from buildbot http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ Then try sim/axis/gantry config 2017-02-20 19:09 GMT+02:00 Eric H.
