ALSA is another problem. The alsa drivers for emu10k have not joystick support. I have seen a patch around there, but I have not been able to find it again. BTW, I have tried the Creative emu10k1-joy with the ALSA emu10k1, and works. So the joystick driver is completely independen of the sound driver. Perhaps it should be included with the joysticks drivers section in kernel. Is there any specific list to send a patch or ask about how to do it ? -- Juan Antonio Magallon Lacarta #> cd /pub mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] #> more beer Linux 2.2.18-pre24-vm #2 SMP Wed Nov 29 02:56:21 CET 2000 i686 unknown
