That was it! After doing `modprobe ns558` the kernel could see my Sidewinder.
However, it didn't like what it saw - `jstest --normal /dev/input/js0`
produced screenfulls of:
sidewinder.c : Too many bit errors on gameport0 - reinitializing joystick
forever.
LM7.2 produces messages similar to that for a while, then starts optimizing
again. I can use the joystick in LM7.2 but I'm beginning to despair about
cooker.
Anyway, thanks for your response, Balaji
