Hi,
I've just got a Gigabyte GA-7DXR mobo. It has on-board Creative CT5880
sound with gameport.
I connected my analog joystick to this but it's not found:
[15:57 root@penguin:/home/peter]# modprobe ns558
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin-pnr/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin-pnr/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin-pnr/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin-pnr/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o:
insmod ns558 failed
Is ns558 only used for ISA gameports? It worked on my AWE64 - (this mobo
has no ISA slot so I can't check).
This is listed when I do lsmod:
analog 7200 0 (unused)
gameport 1536 0 [es1371 analog]
joydev 5856 0
input 3232 0 [analog joydev]
My /dev/input/js? (char-major-13) are linked to /dev/js?, but
/var/log/messages says "modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-15"
(which _was_ the major number for joysticks in pre-2.4 kernels.
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.text for 2.4.3-20mdk lists char 15
for joysticks. I'm confused.
