[gentoo-user] joystick and AC97

[Andrew Gaffney]

I had been having problems getting my joystick to work with my SB Ensoniq 1371. I couldn't 
get the joystick port to even be recognized using OSS or ALSA. I decided to remove this 
card and try for the onboard sound and gameport on my MSI K7T Turbo mobo. I was able to 
get the joystick to work pretty quickly by using the ns558, joydev, and analog modules. It 
didn't create /dev/input/js0 but I created it manually with 'mknod /dev/input/js0 c 13 0' 
(don't remember exact command off the top of my head).

The manual for my motherboard says that it has 'Direct Sound AC97 Audio'. I have looked 
around in the kernel configuration for both OSS and ALSA and I can't find a driver for 
this. So my courses of action are either to find an audio driver for the built-in audio on 
my mobo, or bang my head against the wall for a few more hours before I give up on getting 
my ES1371 gameport to work.

Although, can I put my Ensoniq back in for audio and still use the gameport on my mobo?
