Hello,

Is there a way for a user space app to get a signal or
maybe woken up from select/read when there is a change
on a particular input pin on the parallel port?

Thanks.

The easiest hack I can think of is: Change the db9-driver to be freely
configurable and make yourself a zero-axis 13-button "joystick".

http://www.infonewsindia.com/pinout/ibmlpt.txt might help for the pin
assignment. I guess you don't need it, but maybe some other vicolunteer does.
