I have a CH Flightstick Pro connected to the game port on my PCI Creative Ensoniq 1371. How can I get this joystick working under Linux? I'd like to be able to just the joystick in a few Windows-based games that I play under Wine.
Are you using 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? The options are similar, but will be in different places. In the 2.4 kernel, joystick support is under character devices, but in 2.6, it's under input device support. In both cases, I believe that gameport support for the ES1371 is built into the ES1371 driver itself (it explicitly says this in the 2.6 kernel, but you still need the gameport support). Once you've enabled joystick and gameport support, then choose your joystick. The CH Flightstick Pro is an analog joystick. The help for analog joysticks mentions it by name.
Then, of course, you need to test your joystick. You can cat the /dev entries (or just see if it shows up with devfs), but it's more fun to emerge a game such as Tuxracer. :)
I have all of those options enabled in my 2.6 kernel and I don't get and /dev/input/js0 device.
