I know the LCD panels on the D270 | displays these, is this a similiar device? | Yes, the LCD panel and the display on the 25th line of the HPTERM both display the chassis codes sent by the PDC_CHASSIS call. The remote management card, however, has the benefits of saving a history of the chassis codes, as well as providing the remote reset/TOC functions. | > cards over a dedicated hardware interface, and so inserting them into | > your code gives a very low level way to display debug data. | | Putting the error on the 25th line is a really good idea, but I can't | see the 25th line because of the terminal control buttons ("Line | Modify", "Modify All", etc). I can't seem to get rid of them either. | What's the trick? For the X11 hpterm client on an HP-style keyboard, hitting the Menu key will cause the softkey labels to be toggled on/off. On a PC-style keyboard, the PrintScreen/SysRq key toggles the labels. If you have a remote management card, then the chassis codes will automatically toggle thte softkey labels off.
