Hi!

Can you add some logging to a file and post parts of it here?

I have discovered something similar on a Braillex EL40C display. It is
connected via USB, but there is a serial port converter built in to
the display.
In my case I got the fieling that a problem occurs when there is
enough trafic to and from the display. How ever it turned out to be a
USB problem. I connected the display to Another USB port and it works
perfect.
How is the display connected in your case? Is it a real serial port,
RS-232 or so?
