[Emc-users] Problem With New Release -- Can't Find LP port

2008-08-20 Thread Kenneth Lerman
I'm finally (after a disk crash) installing emc2 on my system -- a Dell Optiflex GX150. This is the same machine I was running the BDI EMC1 on (except for the change of disk drive). I'm using Jon Elson's UnivPWM boards. Dmesg shows that on boot, the lp driver is loaded, but no device is

[Emc-users] Problem Using Axis

2008-08-20 Thread Kenneth Lerman
I'm trying to use Axis with the latest release and am having a problem. When Axis starts, the screen breaks up. There are dark horizontal lines appearing on the Axis window and across the screen to the right of it. It looks like some sort of video problem. TKemc does not have the same problem.
