The problem is definitely X.  I made a lot of tests: with dma and non-dma
serial driver, X accelerated, non accelerated, X bare.bone (started with
xinit). The problem is X. When X is running the serial ports looses packets
:-((
Am I the only one who is having this problem ???  Why does X cause overruns

If you can try 2.2.17pre10ben2 or pre13ben2 (linuxcare linux-pmac-benh) then
you can apply the IRQ latency test and see if it is that which is blocking
you.  Scan the dev list for "[ANN} IRQ".

I'll try a soon I have a bit of free time...

There's a pre-built kernel, modules & system.map (with IRQ latency &
dmasound stuff already applied ) linked to:

The IRQh app - which you need to start the profiling is linked to :

The RX buffer in an 85230 (which is actually the chip - IIRC - an enhanced
8530) is 8 characters deep - so any more that about 700 us IRQ block will
cause a drop out at 115200 continuous...

On the Amiga I used to rtx stuff at 230K with no problems. It has 1 byte
buffer...

BTW st SCC-XXdma stuff *is* enabled on my G3 by default.

Beige or blue?  On my B&W G3 it's not enabled, I only see the plain
non-DMA RX and TX interrupts.
