Would be nice if you send me a pat5ch against the LyX file, but anything
is wellcome.

Yep, but serial.o grabs all ports it can get.
The different solutions were discussed here lately, check the archive.
(Is there a working one ?)

Basically this are your choices:
- Load rt_com before serial
- Patch serial not to grab the rt_com port
- Use setserial to let serial release the rt_com port

Any forgotten ?
Probably I will put that into the manual :-)
