Hi Rolf, thanks for the reply. Well, I tried that it with /etc/modules.conf. At least, I tried it with "adi", not "joydev".
When I did, the next time I rebooted, I lost all my Nvidia stuff and X wouldn't start. I lost other services as well.
Removed "adi" and all was well again.
I used "modprobe adi"
Now, I've got both "adi" and "joydev" in /etc/modules but while no errors are raising their ugly heads, neither do they show up in lsmod.
Any other ideas? Thanks much!
[..]
adi
joydev
for instance, put a line feed after the last line you edit. Without the newline, I have had config files fail to get read, leading to failure to boot in at least one case.
Those modules load here with modprobe:
adi 6232 0 (unused)
input 3456 0 [adi]
gameport 1660 0 [adi]
[..]
joydev 5632 0 (unused)
input 3456 0 [joydev]
[..]
and show dependency modules. One thing I might try is to add the dependencies your system shows earlier in /etc/modules. Another strategy would be to modprobe adi and modprobe joydev at the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Look at /var/log/messages for error messages.
