Thank you, but anyway I would like to use the parport driver framework.
Maybe someone else could explain how to accomplish my task with parport?

[Q] Maintenance in 2.6

Good eDay !

I can not understand some points about linux-parport.

First. Is there any connection with <linux-parport <at> lists.infradead.org> and 2.6 ?
IMHO no: 
       1) http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2540
       2) grep -e parport ChangeLog-2.6.6.txt ...
       3) olecom <at> gluon:/usr/src/linux-2.6.5$ grep MAINTAINERS -e linux-parport <at> lists.infradead.org
          olecom <at> gluon:/usr/src/linux-2.6.5$ grep MAINTAINERS -e linux-parport                    
          L:      linux-parport <at> torque.net
          L:      linux-parport <at> torque.net
          olecom <at> gluon:/usr/src/linux-2.6.5$

Second. Patches to kernel are applyed from `man from steet` , or not only MAINTAINERS ?

Third. Maintenance is stopped or udelayed()  ?

Please clear it for me, if there's time and/or will.

Thanks.

Oops, my fault.

I'be been swamped with other stuff for.. actually quite a long time.
I'm afraid I haven't been doing anything but collect patches as far as
parport is concerned. 

Perhaps it's time to ask: does anyone else want to step forward and
maintain the kernel parport/paride code?

How to Set Pins permanently

Hello!

I am asking this again, because I have not recieved any useful answer:

Can anybody tell me how to set pins on the parallel port permanently.
When using:
parport_write_data(port, 7);
Pins 2,3,4 are on for  about 45seconds. But after this period, they are
off again.

Regards,
    Florian

Something else is changing them.

Do you have the port held for exclusive use (with O_EXCL)?

Which call takes it as a parameter?

... or it might be an ioctl.  Hmm, I'm out of touch with this stuff.
I think I was thinking about libieee1284_open.
