AW: RE: SRM keyboard problem

[Heid, Oliver]

Hello all,
Thanks for the help! I can indeed access the srm console via serial cable, but it seems odd that the keyboard is dead though "console" is set to "graphics". Doesnt sound to me that this behaviour is according to the manuals.
Still, better than nothing! Thanks again
    Oliver
