I am trying to get parallel port access for VMwareWorkstation 3.0 on a
linux host, kernel 2.4.4
( SuSe 7.2 professional ). The installation of the ppdev module is
required. The ppdev module does not show up
under " lsmod ". If the ppdev module is installed, should it show
up there?

I tried loading ppdev with "modprob ppdev io=0x0378 irq=7" and
various other combinations of "io" and "q" values and get the message
:
" /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/drivers/char/ppdev.o: invalid
parameter parm_io "
How do I find the valid io parameter?
Where can I find any information or write up on the ppdev module?
Any help or comments appreciated.
