Greetings all,

I'm not to familiar with Linux so this may be a dumb question. 

I'm trying to use the RTS line of /dev/ttts4, however that line (pin-7) has 
been re-purposed as the TX line of /dev/ttts5.

The TS-7800 manual regarding UARTs states that:
>> When some TS-UART ports are enabled, they override the
>> meanings of other pins with their own meanings.  When
>> disabled, the pins revert to their original meaning.

How would I go about permanently disabling /dev/ttts5?

Many thanks,
 - Malcolm


P.S. The following information may be useful.


This is running the stock Linux distribution that came with the board. 
'uname -a' prints the following:
>> Linux ts7800 2.6.21-ts #1 PREEMPT Fri Oct 10 10:20:42 
>> MST 2008 armv5tejl GNU/Linux

'/etc/modules' contains the two lines:
>> tsuart1
>> tsuart7800

'lsmod' shows the following two entries:
>> [Module] tsuart7800 [Size]  2716 [Used by] 0
>> [Module] tsuart1    [Size] 13964 [Used by] 1 tsuart7800

'dmesg' shows the following entries:
