I tried and failed, so i dressed up and went to the shop till just now 2:07AM.
Will give it another try in about 15 min.

BigJohnT ... I tried to configure without the tool and the result were not good.  Linuxcnc failed to run.  I am back to re reading the manuals and I try again.  I am hoping to most of today on and I will post as I go..

here are my settings with the tool.  the trouble is that there are certain buttons that kill the tool.  also if I reload the tools there a bunch of setting that dont get reloaded.  regardless here are my setting.

here r the rest of the settings

This the error i get if i do not make these changes
[AXIS_X]
MIN_LIMIT = -10
MAX_LIMIT = 97
MAX_VELOCITY = 5
MAX_ACCELERATION = 5

#[AXIS_X]
#MIN_LIMIT = -10
#MAX_LIMIT = 97
#MAX_VELOCITY = 5
#MAX_ACCELERATION = 5

[AXIS_Y]
MIN_LIMIT = -2
MAX_LIMIT = 52
MAX_VELOCITY = 5
MAX_ACCELERATION = 5
 

If i do make those previous changes then linuxcnc runs but it removes the 2nd X axis.  and there are no animations 

OK i have Joint 0 and joint 1 moving together.  I had to add these lines to each joint.

OME_OFFSET = -2
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -1
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.1
HOME_FINAL_VEL = 1
HOME_IGNOR_LIMITS = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1

for some reason they did not get created with the tool.  of course the value changes for each joint.  I am not connected to the motors yet so i cant make it to the limits to home.  and it will not let me jog till I home.. 
Can any one suggest how i can avoid that?

I think it is a typo OME_OFFSET = -2

If this is a gantry you will need to change HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 to HOME_SEQUENCE = -1 on both joints

Can you post your ini and hal files

Clive s  -  no the type is in the post.  here are my ini and hal files.  Also do not understand why the display and animation are disconnected

Have you tried using the 'LinuxCNC Pncconfig' ??This is how i have set mine up.
