Re: [Flightgear-users] Slackware, USB, CH yoke

[Josh Babcock]

I don't have any problem with this, but I use a USB joystick.  Try 
putting the modprobe lines in /etc/rc.local (or whatever the equivelent 
is for your distro).  I have to do this for my sound module.  It can't 
hurt to have them loaded, and if you need the memory, you can always 
rmmod it later.

This misfeature annoys me to no end.  Has anyone investigated why the
kernel input modules understand keyboards and mice just fine, but
don't have the sense to load "joydev" automatically when a joystick is
plugged in?
I've never looked at the kernel source.  Presumably this would be a
trivial fix, no?  Sometimes it seems like we're the only major user of
the joystick driver, and the kernel folks don't care about it...
