[parisc-linux] Serial Terminal on C-180 system

[Rod Smart]

    Hello again.

    Last time I was here I was asking about how to get the C-180 to use
Serial Terminal, I havn't been able to get it talking to the other Linux
or wincrash system, so I would like to transfer it back to Video mode
(turn off Serial Terminal.

    How do I do this when I cannot see the screen ?

As I understand it, if you unplug the keyboard and mouse,
then the system will boot to serial console. I think you
just plug the kb, mouse, and monitor in and you will get
a graphics console. You might have to set something in the
firmware also, can't remember.

The C180 will output a signal to the serial port whenever it doesn't
detect a keyboard.  It doesn't need to be turned off.  So, plug in your
monitor, mouse, and keyboard.  You should get something off you
graphics card unless you really messed up the graphics config in the
boot handler menus.  If you don't get anything you will problably need
to connect a serial console to your machine that will emulate vt100.

Hi Rod,

I guess Your problem is, that Your C180 graphic is not sending an usable 
signal to Your Monitor. You need to plug in keyboard an monitor. And a few 
seconds after switching on press the TAB key -- the workstation will change 
the video mode several times with about 3 seconds delay. Press ENTER if the 
mode is okay for You. (I hope it's correct in my mind)

I don't know whether or not You need do some changes via serial first. 
(Switch console with "pa con graphic(0)" perhaps)
