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 updated the kernel as per directions on the LM website with rpms, and since then, rpmdrake still says i need to update my kernel. could this and my joystic trouble be because I've missed something in my kernel upgrade? should I have changed where something points, for example instead of /usr/src/linux/kernel it (whatever it is) should point to /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/kernel? as soon as I think I know something...I add a peripheral > > On Friday 11 January 2002 1:10 am, you wrote: > > > > 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 [ro > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
