Hello,
I am trying to use a digitizer on my linux
machine. Can someone tell me where I can
find some info about comfiguring the serial
port. I have connected the digitizer to the
com1 port and my digitizer works under
ms-dos. I have a linux digitizing software
but the manual only says that I should
edit the /etc/ttys and /edit/inittab
files to maket sure that no programs
(e.g.) getty or init) are listining
to the com1 port. I am not sure how to do
this.
Thanks in advance
Venkatesh Raghavan
