Hey all,
I installed SUSE 8.1 on a AMD Duron box. When I installed it, I had the
parallel stuff disabled in the BIOS. Now, I need to use the parallel port.
I have enabled the parallel port in the BIOS to SPP, EPP, ECP, etc. I have
recompiled the kernel to support parport and the parallel port. When I try to
look in the YAST hardware configure stuff, no parallel port is listed. I have
so far not found a way to "configure it" from the "managers" provided with SUSE.
I do see the parport driver loading from dmesg.
I want to use the port for a parallel scanner. I am going to try it through
VMWARE and NT first. But, without it being recognized by the OS, I am not sure
VMWARE will be able to connect to it.
First off, which mode do I use SPP, ECP, EPP, EPP+ECP? Second, which device
should I use? /dev/parport0?? Lastly, how do I get SUSE to acknowledge that the
parallel port exists - or do I have to?
Thanks,
Steve J
