UART1 Tiva, TM4C123BH6PZ. shutting of flow control

I'm using ARM Realview V5, the new peripheral 2.1 driverlib. The chip is TM4C123BH6PZ, circuit on my own board design.  UART0 is working perfectly, but I need to be pointed to some code that shows how to get UART1 to operate like a simple two wire UART0 style serial port?  My main problem is with getting the registers set up correctly to shut off all the flow control features/interrupts and clearing out all the framing errors, and break errors, and to get normal FIFO driven interrupt operation.  And finally I want to use the un-used UART1 flow control pins for other GPIO's.   PS:  All the pin unlocking has been figured out using the pin mux tool, so no hard fault problems with the entire project.
