1st , thx for replying 8)
/etc/modules. looks like this now
scsi_hostadapter
nvidia
emu10k1-gp
joydev
sidewinder
and I commented the alias line from modules.conf
then reboot ...
$ lsmod .. shows ..
sidewinder 9848 0 (unused)
joydev 7136 0 (unused)
input 5696 0 [sidewinder joydev]
emu10k1-gp 2184 0 (unused)
gameport 3268 0 [sidewinder emu10k1-gp]
It doesn't seem to create the dev node this way.
I tried a number of different ways but didn't write them down 8(
do I need analog also ... I will soon 8)
although, I really don't need the joystick loaded all the time and could just
modprobe them before starting any games which require it, but its bugging not
to know how to set this up to load at boot ...
