Hi all,

Just recently signed up, fiddled with Flightgear for a couple
of weeks now. Have a question.

Slackware v9.1, stock kernel 2.4.22 (no compiling yet),
SOYO K7V Dragon MoBo w/AMD Athlon, 1.4 GHz w/512MB DDR
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440SE w/128MB
FlightGear-0.9.3-i486-2.tgz and fgfs-base-0.9.2-noarch-1.tgz
unzipped, untarred and installed (well, I used Slackware's
installpkg.)
CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB

The program is up and running, I can taxi the c172 in circles
until it crashes off the end of the runway using either the
keyboard or mouse. But I can't get the USB yoke to work.

Here are the appropriate entries in dmesg and linux-2.4.22/.config.
At least I think they are appropriate.

For dmesg when I plug in the yoke:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus3/2, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x68e/0xff) is not claimed by any
          active driver.

And for .config, assuming this is relevant to the stock kernel:

# USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m
CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m


I don't see any drivers for this device on my system. If you insist I will go through the some 6500 posts in the list archives but I would really like someone to help speed things up. Do I have to find and install a driver and where can I find one? Googling only led me in circles like the c172.

Thanks for any help.

Tom

See the attached. I've found that the patch does not fit quite, even with hand editing of hid-core.c since about 2.4.20, the best I could get was the Yoke working, but not the pedals. I am now using a 2.6.0-test11 kernel and both work without the need to modify any sources. I don't know how 2.6.0-ready Slackware is, but under SuSE 9.0, 2.6.0-test11 has a few odd quirks, (1) reporting services failed on bootup - they all work fine, (2) a hitch or two with /etc/modprobe.conf, edited and got alsa and ov511 modules to load automatically, but not nvidia.o - not quite understanding the syntax needed for modprobe.conf perhaps (3) apm would spin down the HD, but would not wake it up - hard reset/Alt-SYSRQ-B needed until I disabled apm on the HD.

Sid.
