Re: [expert] Joystick Detection
and under 2.4.8-34.1mdk/ do you have kernel/drivers/ with lots of sub directories (2.4.8-34.1mdk is your current kernel right?) there should be char/joystick under there with all the modules you need - ns558.o.gz, emu10k1-gp.o.gz plus others (i use analog.o.gz for my saitek cyborg) you should also have sound/emu10k1/ there with emu10k1.o.gz in bascule On Friday 11 January 2002 8:12 pm, you wrote: On Fri, 11 Jan 2002 19:42:35 + bascule [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: what do you have under /lib/modules/? 2.4.16-selinux/ 2.4.8-26mdk/ 2.4.8-34.1mdk/ bascule ok, this is all ok, but i'm not finding anything with # whereis emu10k1-gp or by looking in any of the directories that other posts say it's supposed to be.

I'm not finding much in the way of documentation here...I'm trying to get LM8.1 to recognize my logitech joystick (digital 3D). It is attached to my SB live! soundcard gameport. the soundcard is detcted fine under the 2.4.8-34 kernel according to harddrake. after making the appropriate ritual sacrifice to google, the only thing I found in searching told me to 'modprobe ns558' and entering that yielded the following: [root@localhost input]# modprobe ns558 /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz: insmod ns558 failed [root@localhost input]# harddrake Can't open file `/dev/fd1' for reading!
