LM7.2 comes with 2.2.17 version of the linux kernel. This kernel has support for the emu10k chip. But I guess it does not include support for the joystick driver (I am not very sure about it.). That's the reason there is no "emu10k1-joy" in the stock LM7.2 If you can compile creative's emu10k1 drivers, then a recompile of the kernel is not necessary. In that case do the following. Rename emu10k1.o in /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc to emu10k1.o-old. Compile creative's drivers. Modify /etc/modules.conf as shown below. Hopefully this should get your joystick working.
