HI: Thanks for you answer but i dont know how program these lines for control ioperm(). Yes my system is Suse Linux 9.3 with kde upgraded 3.4.1
I solve the problem (in old wine) of this way:
In the old file config i write
[ppdev] "378" = "/dev/parport0" [ports] "read" = "0x779,0x378-0x37f,0x280-0x2a0" "write" = "0x779,0x378-0x37f,0x280-0x2a0"
I set the attributes crw-rw-rw- 1 me root 99, 0 2005-03-19 16:36 /dev/parport0 crw-rw-rw- 1 lp lp 6, 0 2005-03-19 16:36 /dev/lp0
and add Myuser to the lp group.
With all this i get the right of access.
Maybe if you sendme a clue maybe i can make the wrapper.
Thanks
Christian
I am using TopMax software (a chip programmer) with old wine version
(with
config file).
I try the new wine but i not find where grant the FULL parallel port access to the TopMax program
Where is the new config file for touch manually? or How i can make for grant port access (standard 378-37f)
If you're using linux, you will most likely have to use a suid-root wrapper that calls ioperm() and subsequently drops privileges and invokes wine. That's about 10 lines of C and should be a good exercise ;] I don't know offhand how portable ioperm() is, and if there is something in /proc that would be more portable, etc.
I don't see anything suid-root that comes with wine, so probably wine itself doesn't have anything of the sort. And I don't know either how wine managed to pull it off before w/o using suid root executable, unless it did it via signal catching and some manual forwarding to /dev/lp#. With right ioperms in place the program should be able to run at full speed.
