You probably have to tell the soundcard module where the joystick is. Like $ insmod soundcore; insmod <insert soundcard module here> js=0x200 And then install the joystick modules. I'm not sure what the actual paramater to the soundcard is, js, joy or something. I think the joystick is almost always at 0x200 or 0x201. Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/joystick.txt It has info about Trident 4D soundcard. -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hobbes: Do you have an idea for your story yet?
