Igor,
Is your sidewinder plugged into the gameport or into a USB port? If
it's in the USB port, check dmesg for any USB related errors. One
very common one is to not have an IRQ assigned to the USB in the BIOS.

Subject: [Flightgear-users] Joystick problem
Hi,
I guess that most of you have a working joystick. I have a hard time
setting my environment such that I get my joystick to work.
Here is what I have:
IBM Aptiva with gameport on address range 0x0200-0x0207
Joystick is an Microsoft SideWinder Pro 3D
This configuration used to work when I was running MS as OS.
Here is my current system:
Linux RH 7.1 kernel 2.4.2-2
- Output of lsmod:
Module Size Used by
ide-cd 26848 0 (autoclean)
cdrom 27232 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd]
agpgart 23392 2 (autoclean)
NVdriver 723088 14 (autoclean)
eepro100 16624 1 (autoclean)
ipchains 38976 0 (unused)
cs4232 3440 0
ad1848 17904 0 [cs4232]
uart401 6768 0 [cs4232]
sound 62688 0 [cs4232 ad1848 uart401]
soundcore 4464 5 [sound]
usb-uhci 20720 0 (unused)
usbcore 49664 1 [usb-uhci]
I got a tip to perform
modprobe joydev
modprobe ns558
modprobe analog
but since the sidewinder has an own module I substituted analog with
sidewinder. The modprobe fails on the ns558 module by complaining on
.../ns558.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
....
lsmod after previous modprobe has the following modules added
Module Size Used by
sidewinder 8944 0 (unused)
gameport 2240 0 [sidewinder]
joydev 5696 0
input 3488 0 [sidewinder joydev]
All this is however to no avail since the joystick is still not
recognized.
Running js_demo reports Joystick 0 thru 8 being 'not detected'
Any tips are welcome
best regards
/Igor
