>Description:
[note: I submitted this as misc/818 a *long* time ago, but cgd
felt that I didn't really elaborate that much. Here's a better
attempt.]
lpt.4 doesn't really document the features of the lpt driver
that can be enabled with various high bits in the minor number
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
apply this diff (in share/man/man4/man4.i386).
it's a start anyway. don't forget to close [misc/818] as well.
