Hi,

I guess that most of you have a working joystick. I have a hard time
setting my environment such that I get my joystick to work.

Here is what I have:

IBM Aptiva with gameport on address range 0x0200-0x0207
Joystick is an Microsoft SideWinder Pro 3D
This configuration used to work when I was running MS as OS.

Here is my current system:

Linux RH 7.1 kernel 2.4.2-2
- Output of lsmod:
Module                  Size  Used by
ide-cd                 26848   0 (autoclean)

sound                  62688   0 [cs4232 ad1848 uart401]
soundcore               4464   5 [sound]

usbcore                49664   1 [usb-uhci]

I got a tip to perform 
 modprobe joydev
 modprobe ns558
 modprobe analog
but since the sidewinder has an own module I substituted analog with
sidewinder. The modprobe fails on the ns558 module by complaining on 
.../ns558.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
....

lsmod after previous modprobe has the following modules added
Module                  Size  Used by
sidewinder              8944   0 (unused)
gameport                2240   0 [sidewinder]
joydev                  5696   0
input                   3488   0 [sidewinder joydev]

All this is however to no avail since the joystick is still not
recognized.
Running js_demo reports Joystick 0 thru 8 being 'not detected'

Any tips are welcome

best regards
/Igor
