Mine is not USB based so I can rule that out. It's either the serial controller in the monitor or the card not getting along with the ASUS motherboard. I still have a few tricks to try out and I'll add yours to the list. Next on the agenda...find time!
--brandon sossamon Hi, I've often run into difficulties with USB-based serial adapters, to the point where I've given up on them for all but the most trivial things. If you're able to find something with an onboard serial port, or failing that get a card-based port, you'll be likely to save a lot of headaches. Another thing I've run into, some serial ports only seem to work properly after they've been initially set up. I had one system a while back where it would not see the serial port upon boot until I opened up a terminal prompt and gave it the setup: stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600 Of course, replace the S0 and the 9600 with the port number and baud rate you are using. What I ended up doing on that computer is I put the command into a script which runs upon boot, that solved the issue. You could potentially put this into the Rivendell daemon init script, trigger the serial port before starting up the rest of the daemons. I don't know if this might help to fix the problem mentioned below where rdadmin needs to be opened up first to diable and re-enable the serial port, but it might be worth a try.
