as soon as I change:

int main() {
iopl(3);
outb(6, 0xcf9);
usleep(100);
outb(6, 0xcf9);
return 0;
}
(the above gave a command prompt
with numerous tries)
to:

int main() {
iopl(3);
outb(2, 0xcf9);
usleep(100);
outb(6, 0xcf9);
return 0;
}

it worked..(on the first try)

but still am confused as
to why I tried: outb(2, 0xcf9);
with nothing happening.
(Maybe something in there
is changing each boot or something.)
