Do you really know for sure how thse pins are  internally  connected?
If  there  are  any  pull-up  or -down resistors? And how your UART is
implemented internally? And if the driver actually reads the pins?

I wrote: this is what your  serial  driver  reports.  This  does  not
necessarily  mean  that  this is actually the state of the externally
accessable pin on the serial connector...

This looks ok.

Because this is what you serial  driver  reports  about  the  current
state of these pins?

No.


Ummm... why do you bother? Is anything not working?

Best regards,
