Have you noticed if your LA also produces almost unusable files when trying to save a screen capture ?

B&W TIF -> fail
'grey' TIF -> fail
PCX -> good compression, but problematic file format (from my notes: have to fix a field, max_X, to "x_resolution - 1" = 0x23F , then open + save in e.g. Gimp ??)
EPS -> almost good, just a huge file

I must say that I've only used the
Alt+PS feature to save a screenshot of the Window in Linux.
?
I just tried saving the "print" -> "flexible disk" function and I could load all the file formats in gimp (3.0) without problem but the default gnome "Image Viewer" and "Eye of Gnome" had problems on the file formats they handled.
?
I got an error for Gnome "Image Viewer":
color TIF format ... "The decoder for Tiff does not support the format features RGBPalette with [8] bits per sample is unsupported".
mono TIF format ... "The encoder or decoder for Tiff does not support the color type `Unknown(1)`"
& "Eye of Gnome"
PCX ... "Unrecognized image file format"
The .eps file opened OK though.

I guess, the file format used in the LA is old and not supported in the newer image viewers.? Good old Gimp comes through!

I did see the Ethernet add-on mod. Great for those who get an un-optioned unit.

Keeping the X-window connection is getting harder and harder with each Linux update as the security nannies take over.
Now one needs to add -listen tcp to the Xorg server or it wont listen on port 6000+display for remote connections and add the option to the configuration..
Section "ServerFlags"
? ?Option "AllowByteSwappedClients" "on"
EndSection
because the LA is big-endian (Motorola) and the computer little-endian (Intel) (Xorg used to allow both, now you have to explicitly permit it).

Xwayland is even more involved...? having socket connections and IP port connections are mutually exclusive.? You need to make a pipe between the IP? port and the socket.
socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 &?
