Jon Elson's advice is good, as always, and may well fix your problem without further ado, but with more details about your system we might come up with more specific ideas. For m/b and video cards, what are the makes and models? Amounts of memory? Keep in mind that it is not EMC2 per se but the underlying Ubuntu distribution provides your video drivers. The motherboard has its own part to play because of the intimacy between its BIOS and the rest of the system hardware. RTAI has to be happy with all this so that EMC2 can control your mill properly. For this old fogey, the phrase "Shultz defense" brings to mind "Hogan's Heroes" and Sergeant Schultz. Is this what you meant?
