Hi,

         Well there's a thing! I just spent an hour driving around town to 
get a new psu - the Qube died on me unexpectedly - psu fluctuating between 
7 and 10 volts with no load...

         Now I can continue where I left off.

         The last post included what I see in the console window (before 
the Qube died)

         With the qube running, a quick dmesg gives:

No com0 there!

Strange, I have checked the config over and over again but cannot find the 
problem, com0 is in the config!

As for the buttons, I never use them myself, the lcd is enough so I don't 
have a problem with that, but the purists?

Kind Regards,
Pete.
