My BIOS setting has always been "ECP+EPP". After Steffen's mail regarding
"ECP+EPP" I've changed my parport BIOS setting to "EPP" and using 2.4 I
now get:

parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]

I also tried 2.2. with "ECP+EPP" and it detects both ECP and EPP:
[SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]

Apparently 2.4. doesn't detect the parport settings the same way 2.2. does.

Regards,
Udo.
