I'm about at wit's end and hope someone out there might have a suggestion.
I retrofitted a Varnamo (Swedish) knee mill-beautiful new old stock (NOS)
with a complete AJAX/Centroid system. DC-310 servo controller. Worked perfect for about a year but a very limited use. It has a dual operating computer running it. Boot up in Windows XP and I use Bob-Cad-then copy g-code to floppy or flash drive. Turn computer off-then power up freq. drive, controller, push ajax flash drive in and it boots up as Ajax/Linux and works great. Lately though after going through maybe 400 lines of code on a job, the screen goes black with a bunch of error messages-it varies-maybe after 3000 lines of code-not consistant. Ajax suggested the easist solution-replace the memory card (512mb) didn't work after that the pc motherboard and processor (about to). In windows it will on occasion shut down and boot itself up and it varies as well. Ajax has been real helpful but of course it is hard to diagnose a system 2000 miles away. The error codes include:
expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_9:line 83 of pc/pc
There are 4 more lines of similar error messages then it goes
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the x server
(EE) xf860penserial: cannot open device /devmouse no such file or directory
(WW) Mouse1: cannot open input device
Fatal server error:
Caught signel 11. Server aborting
xinit: connection to x server lost.
X connection to :0.0) broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)'

Should I just replace the motherboard an processor and see if that does it?
Would post a digital photo of screen but don't now how to do that.
Thanks,
Tom
