I've unsuccessfully tried to get the parallel port into ECP mode under
LINUX 2.6.14.4 on my T41. The BIOS settings that I tried (mode was
always ECP):
I/O IRQ DMA
3bc 7 0
3bc 7 1
3bc 7 3
378 7 3
With the last combination, I at least got it into EPP mode:
~# modprobe parport_pc irq=7 dma=3 io=0x378 init_mode=ecp
~# dmesg |tail -n 1
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
With the first three BIOS settings I only got it into PCSPP, TRISTATE
modes.
Interestingly the parallel port DMA channel is *not* visible in
"/proc/dma". With either of the above combinations:
~$ cat /proc/dma
4: cascade
Does anyone know what needs to be done to get the port into ECP mode?
