Can someone out there help? I'm running Mdk8.0, and have a MS Sidewinder gamepad attached to a SB Vibra16 gameport. Sound works fine. I've downloaded and installed the js utilities package for testing the install. My /etc/modules.conf has this line added:
alias char-major-13 joydev ns558 sidewinder But, /sbin/lsmod doesn't show anything about a joystick and #jstest /dev/js0 returns "jstest: no such device" So, I #modprobe joystick #modprobe ns558 #modprobe sidewinder And now /sbin/lsmod looks like this: Module Size Used by nls_iso8859-1 2848 1 (autoclean) isofs 17808 1 (autoclean) sr_mod 13952 1 (autoclean) sidewinder 8944 0 (unused) ns558 3024 0 (unused) gameport 1520 0 [sidewinder ns558] input 3232 0 (autoclean) [sidewinder] sb 7136 0 sb_lib 33120 0 [sb] uart401 6224 0 [sb_lib] sound 54256 0 [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3504 5 [sb_lib sound] 3c59x 24640 1 (autoclean) usb-uhci 20672 0 (unused) usbcore 47248 1 [usb-uhci] supermount 32496 4 (autoclean) reiserfs 165760 2 advansys 85836 4 sd_mod 11048 3 scsi_mod 86036 3 [sr_mod advansys sd_mod] Still, jstest returns the "no such device" error, so I tried the following, removing the /dev/jsX and recreating them, then: #ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 and did the same for js1,js2,and js3 I still don't have a gamepad, and would really like to know what I'm missing here. And, shouldn't my /etc/modules.conf load the js on startup? Feeling real dumb right now, eryl
