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.
