John,
I have it almost working. The tool still tilts, but it will display the ring, 
and you can see what is happening.
From my INI

[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = axis
POSITION_OFFSET = RELATIVE
POSITION_FEEDBACK = ACTUAL
MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE = 2.000000
MAX_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 1.500000
MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 0.500000
INTRO_GRAPHIC = linuxcnc.gif
INTRO_TIME = 5
PROGRAM_PREFIX = /home/sh/linuxcnc/nc_files
INCREMENTS = .1in .05in .01in .005in .001in .0005in .0001in
POSITION_FEEDBACK = ACTUAL
DEFAULT_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 0.250000
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 1.000000
MIN_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 0.016670
DEFAULT_ANGULAR_VELOCITY = 12.000000
MAX_ANGULAR_VELOCITY = 180.000000
MIN_ANGULAR_VELOCITY = 1.666667
EDITOR = gedit
GEOMETRY = aXYZ
CYCLE_TIME = 100
Excuse the speeds this is from my prototype system, no machine.

 Forgot to mention I had tried that.  I have it set to AXYZ.  The tool images 
starts with the flat of the tool cone facing away from me.  I can now also see 
the A change briefly to say 20 and then back to zero, probably due to the G92.

But it's still drawing the image as if it's in one spot.  Which in effect it is 
since the rotary axis, in line with the X axis is turning so the XYZ remain the 
same other than Z moving into the work to cut and out to retract.  X moves 
along the graduations and AX move to draw the letters.

So something else in the INI or HAL file is still confusing the system.
