To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: 28 the module will be called parport. 29 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which 30 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a 31 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. 32 33 If unsure, say Y. 34 35config PARPORT_PC 36 tristate "PC-style hardware" 37 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 38 ---help--- 39 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All 40 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style 41 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they 42 have a SuperIO parallel port. 43 44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 45 module will be called parport_pc. 46 47 If unsure, say Y. 48 49config PARPORT_SERIAL 50 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" 51 depends on SERIAL_8250 && PARPORT_PC && PCI 52 help 53 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and 54 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module 55 will be called parport_serial. 56 57config PARPORT_PC_FIFO 58 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)" 59 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 60 help 61 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up 62 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. 63 64 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel 65 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, 66 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the 67 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to 68 specify which IRQ/DMA to use. 69 70config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO 71 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)" 72 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 73 help 74 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to 75 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It 76 is safe to say N. 77 78config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA 79 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" 80 depends on PARPORT!=n && (PCMCIA!=n && PARPORT_PC=m && PARPORT_PC || PARPORT_PC=y && PCMCIA) 81 help 82 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel 83 ports. If unsure, say N. 84 85config PARPORT_NOT_PC 86 bool 87 88config PARPORT_ARC 89 tristate "Archimedes hardware" 90 depends on ARM && PARPORT 91 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 92 93config PARPORT_AMIGA 94 tristate "Amiga builtin port" 95 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT 96 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 97 help 98 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 99 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 100 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 101 102config PARPORT_MFC3 103 tristate "Multiface III parallel port" 104 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT 105 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 106 help 107 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. 108 This code is also available as a module (say M), called 109 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 110 111config PARPORT_ATARI 112 tristate "Atari hardware" 113 depends on ATARI && PARPORT 114 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 115 help 116 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 117 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 118 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 119 120config PARPORT_GSC 121 tristate 122 default GSC 123 depends on PARPORT 124 125config PARPORT_SUNBPP 126 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)" 127 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL 128 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 129 help 130 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port 131 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras 132 actually have pc style hardware instead. 133 134config PARPORT_1284 135 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes" 136 depends on PARPORT 137 help 138 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or 139 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes 140 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 141 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to 142 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. 143 144endmenu 145 146
