Basically, here's the problem:
I used to be able to compile the creative driver for the SBLive! This
driver includes support for the joystick port on the card.

In order to use a joy with this card, I had to use the emu10k1-joy
module with a specific io address (insmod soundcore, insmod emu10k1-joy,
insmod emu10k1-joy i0=0x200 then insmod joystick.o and finally, insmod
joy-analog.o) This sequence worked on Mandrake 7.1. (with or without the
joystick.o: can't remember :)

Now, using Mandrake 7.2, I can't compile the creative driver anymore.
I've been able to compile it on a vanilla kernel 2.2.17 but not with the
one supplied with Mdk 7.2. Unfortunately, the vanilla kernel does not
include agpgart module (no problem, I've found it) or the Xfree 4.01
video-card specific module (mga.o in my case, for a Matrox G400). Also,
I can't use the module compiled on the vanilla as it complains about
unresolved symbols when I try to load it on the Mandrake kernel..

Here is my question: is there any way to compile the creative driver
with Mandrake 7.2? If not, where can I find the Xfree 4.01 DRI
video-card module (mga.o) to patch a vanilla kernel 2.2.17?

By the way, hardware acceleration works well on the G400: I've played
with Terminus for a while w/o problem... Except that it's very hard to
pilot with the keyboard :)

So, does anyone have any answers about this? Thanks :)
