Hi everyone, After a few days of unsuccessful trials, I've managed to activate the joystick port on the SBLive! and enable the joystick support in LM7.2. Here's how I have done it: -Downloaded kernel 2.2.18 -Compiled it -Rebooted with the new kernel; There's a catch there: Xfree 4.01 will not run anymore but it is not needed right now anyway (conflict in agpgart.o and mga.o module version: they won't load in Xfree 4.01 provided with LM 7.2). -Downloaded the emu10k1 driver from opensource.creative.com -Compiled it (without a hitch, at last!) -Do not "make install" afer compiling... -cp emu10k1-joy.o /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/ -Reboot with kernel 2.2.17 that came with LM7.2 and then the fun begins: Once bootup is finished: insmod emu10k1-joy io=0x200 cat /proc/ioports You should see the the joystick port at address 0x200. insmod joystick insmod joy-analog (or digital, or anything else). That's it: it worked for me. I hope this helps others! Now, let's hope that the next version of Mandrake will be more up to date, driver-wise: the included version of the emu10k1 dates back to october 1999. No joystick port support was included in that version.
