hi i 've probs get the parport device work with vmware 3.0 and 3.1. i switched the paralell device in the bios to epp mode and compiled the modules parport and parport_pc. i do not use a printer on lp, so i did not compile lp support into the kernel. /dev/parport0 exists. if i configure vmware to use /dev/parport0 in bidirectional mode a message "Connot open /dev/parport0: No such device". modules parport and parport_pc are loaded. i saw that the device /dev/partport0 has root,root so only root can use this device. is it possible to make it as lp wich has root,lp rights?
i'm using woody with kerel 2.4.19pre3. thx arno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
