Just use the parallel port number (0, 1, 2 ...) if you're using a git checkout, or if you wait for 2.4. If you'd plan to use it with a smart board attached, it isn't a matter of configuration, it's just not going to work. There is a bug in the hardware which isn't correctable by the driver or BIOS options.
In either case, there won't be much configuring work to do :) - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
