Dear smart people on the kernel mailing list:
I have celeron 300 MHz box (overcl'ked to 450) I am running 2.4 test11. ISA PnP enabled. I am using the fbconsole(VESA VGA). I have a tried and true serial modem.
When I put in a Trident 975AGP the /dev/ttyS3 (modem) works fine. I can tell this because the response to minicom is snappy and KPPP works(after I startx).
When I remove the 975 and install my new Trident Blade3D (9880) I have different results. When I run minicom 1) The initialization box appears. 2) The box then disappears (as it supposed to) 3) I wait several seconds 4) The initial string _crawls_ across the screen and finally gives me OK
Why am I getting sluggish (to the point where I can't use the modem) response with this second setup? the 975 and the Blade3D are very similar I imagine. And what is the connection between a video card and the serial port?
If you need any more system info I'll be glad to give it.
