There should be "/etc/init.d/joystick" which loads the joydev module in
the section shown here:-
# load joystick drivers
function start () {
# first load joydev module
if [ -z
"${JOYSTICK_MODULE_0}${JOYSTICK_MODULE_1}${JOYSTICK_MODULE_2}${JOYSTICK_MODULE_3}"
]; then
rc_failed 5
return
fi
/sbin/modprobe joydev
for js in 0 1 2 3; do
# configure joystick port (if necessary)
eval jsport=\$JOYSTICK_CONTROL_PORT_$js
if [ -n "$jsport" ]; then
$alsactl set $js card:"Joystick Address" "port $jsport"
fi
# activate joystick (if necessary)
eval jsctrl=\$JOYSTICK_CONTROL_$js
if [ -n "$jsctrl" -a "$jsctrl" != no ]; then
if [ "$jsctrl" = yes ]; then
jsctrl="Joystick"
fi
$alsactl set $js card:"$jsctrl" true
fi
==========================================================
I have this file on 10.1 and 10.2Alpha4.
# chkconfig joystick
joystick off
then it can be set to run at boot time by "chkconfig joystick on".
Regards
Sid.
