Problem:
The "/usr/sbin/ptal-init setup" command fails recognizing the parallel =
port.
Please, see below.

Probe parallel port "-base 0x378 -porttype bpp" (y/[n])? y
*** ptal-mlcd failed to start! Check syslog file for error =
messages.
Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to probe an
undetected parallel port, then enter its hexadecimal base address
(such as "378", "278", or "3BC") here --->

Note.
I did not test with parameter "-basehigh 0x778", but "ptal-mlcd" seems =
take it anyway.
