Jeff,

that didn't seem to change anything. It still reports the same error about
mode 4. I double checked that the change to the modprobe file was correct,
and just for superstition I rebooted as well.

I don't see any mention of parport in any of the config files from pico, so
I'm not sure how it knows to load that driver. It does load hal_ppmc, so
maybe that drives the parallel port.
