Now that I have it up and running, I find occasionally I am getting console 
messages like .../386bsd: com1: silo overflow. 

I realise this means either too many interrupts for the kernel
to handle, or buffers are overflowing.  Is the only fix a 16550AFN UART ?

Also, I have only got 640x480 (aargh) mode going in X.  I am trying to
use the 'xclk' program which calculates the mode line in Xconfig given
a couple of clock parameters.  I am a bit worried about the vertical #s
I get with it; they are all the same, and match the vertical resolution
of the mode I configure, which seems wrong.  Does anyone have a better
version of 'xclk' or a set of config lines for a name brand TSENG ET4000 board,
dated 14 Apr 92 ?

Thanks in advance, please reply via email.
