Could you specify more exactly what your problem is (error message,
strange behavior etc.) ?

There were some problems in earlier releases of 1.2 which were fixed in
XR4053 (?). One can work around this bug with a small program to be used
instead of mode mono. If there is interest .. I can post that little
piece of code (I already did this some time ago).
