Re: [expert] How do I set up a joystick?
If this is a USB sidewider that you are talking about, try modprobe joydev. Also: rm /dev/js0 ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 might make life a bit easier. Hope this helps. By the way, can anyone tell me how to calibrate said joystck? On Sunday, June 17, 2001, at 02:58 PM, Ken Arromdee wrote: I am running Mandrake 8, with fvwm2 as a window manager and no Gnome or KDE.

Re: [expert] How do I set up a joystick?
Hello Ken! There is a homepage at home.wanadoo.nl (I don't remember the full URL) that helped me with that sequence: | Adding Joystick Support: | For 2.4 kernels only | | 1. Enable the PCI port: | insmod ns558 | 2. Load Input Modules (may not need if compiled | insmod input | insmod joydev | 3. Load Joystick drivers: | insmod gameport | insmod analog (or whatever your driver is called) | 4. Fix your Joystick device: | mv /dev/js0 /dev/js0.bak | ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 But I had to do that sequence... see what works for you... 1-insmod gameport 2-insmod ns558 3-insmod input 4-insmod joydev 5-insmod gravis 6-mv /dev/js0 /dev/js0.bak 7-ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 orlando ps: at line 5 I'm using insmod gravis cause I'm using a Gravis Xterminator pad... use the module correspondig to your joystick (thrustmaster, sidewinder, analog,...).
