Plonk. Does anyone with a real clue have an answer for this?

Daunting but I'll give it a go:

For the 2.4 kernel the utility to identify the correct drivers is /sbin/hotplug.
You can do a man on hotplug or check out the project web site:


http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/


Another way is covered in the linux kernel Documents/input/joystick.txt file.
You can update your /etc/modules.conf file with:


alias char-major-13 input
above input joydev

along with any other joystick drivers you might need.  This will load the
driver when a /dev/input/js* device is opened.  This way is clunky because
it will also load the joydev driver when a USB mouse device is opened
since they share the same major number.  You could mess around with
aliases like:

alias char-major-13-0 joydev
alias char-major-13-1 joydev
...

This is real ugly since there are 32 joystick devices...

Does that answer it?
