(also with no stop b.) You actually mean 2 stop bits. (There is _always_ one stop bit). I read your first mail, but couldn't really grasp the details of your problem. Are you trying to direct console _output_ to ttyS2 and the VGA card, yet still accept input from the PS/2 keyboard? And then when you try to set this up, you get garbled characters via ttyS2? -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html
