I'm trying to get joystick support to work on a Mandrake 7.2
installation. I'm able to load the "joystick" module without any
problems, but I run into a "Device or resource busy" error when I try to
load joy-analog (or joy-sidewinder: it's a Sidewinder 3D joystick). I've
appended the actual output below.

Sound seems to be working fine on the system (it's a C-Media
CMI8738/C3DX chipset on the motherboard). Also, modprobe fails
regardless of whether X is running or not, but I haven't tested any time
except after the system's finished booting so I guess an order
dependence could be biting me.

Any suggestions on where to look for the source of the problem? Is a
kernel recompilation in my future? Should I start diving into the
joystick sources?

thanks very much in advance,
Jeff
