Thanks for the tip, J.A. I was using kernel 2.4.0-4mdk that I compiled
myself to make sure that joystick support was enabled, but modules joydev.o
and evdev.o were missing. So I updated to the stock 2.4.0-5mdk, used this
line in /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-13 joydev sidewinder
and rebooted, hoping all would be fixed. No, it's still the same. Evidence
follows:
[11:54 root@penguin:~]# modprobe input
[11:55 root@penguin:~]# modprobe gameport
[11:55 root@penguin:~]# modprobe joydev
[11:55 root@penguin:~]# modprobe sidewinder
[11:55 root@penguin:~]# ls -la /dev/input/js0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 13, 0 Nov 29 03:48 /dev/input/js0
[11:56 root@penguin:~]# cat /dev/input/js0
cat: /dev/input/js0: No such device
Gameport is on AWE64 (ISA), so ...
[12:00 root@penguin:~]# cat /proc/isapnp
