[flashrom] [not working] Abit IS7 (P4)

[san]

What name of module should i look for?

I'm trying to manipulate gpios, but getting this message:

===============
root at flashrom:/sys/class/gpio# echo 3 > /sys/class/gpio/export
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
===============

Might it be releated to dmesg info:

===============
[    7.508264] ACPI Warning: 0x00000430-0x00000433 SystemIO conflicts with
Regio

[    7.548511] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
===============

I have no idea what to do.
GPIO uninitialised is not for this machine only.

Just wanted to inform, ill try to find some answers, but any help would be
aprecieted.

Is it possible we can not do anything beacose of GPIO interface problems?

Best regards!
