    Xflag is a signal used by the peripheral during negotiation to accept
    or reject a negotiated mode. It's low to accept nibble mode, and high
    to accept everything else.

    You can use the parport IEEE 1284 implementation to negotiate with
    extensibility requests by using (IEEE1284_EXT_LINK | mode) as the
    requested mode for parport_negotiate.

    Does that help?
