It's a sound blaster live pci. I used joydev ns558 analog as that was the
closest in the .txt file to what I have. I have even tried insmod gameport
before firing up a game.
The joystick controller is on port 0xd400 and I think the usual is 0x0200.
So I even tried joystick=0x0200 and 0x200.
Some discussion has been going on in the loki games ngs and the consensus is
that kernels 2.4.3 & .4 can't handle the confliction between the joystick and
video cards. I don't think that's the case here, but another guy with my
same exact set up is having the same exact problem. Another with similiar
set up is having similar errors. Anyway....
I tried upgrading the kernel, but it errored out too. (Not my week....)
So, ultimately I ordered a usb joystick from logitech that is supposed to
work and recommended in the faq of descent3. I'll know Friday...
Thanks for your help, but I give up on the Raider Pro for now. :-)
