OK did this ... 
So I looked at Harddrak and the gameport/joystick shows up as unknown/others ?
yet says this :
Vendor: âCreative Labs
Bus: âPCI
Bus identification: â1102:7002:1102:20
Location on the bus: â0:9:1
Description: âSB Live! (joystick)
Module: âemu10k1-gp
Media class: âINPUT_OTHER

syslog says this when I modprobe for " analog " from CL :
analog.c: Unknown joystick device found  (data=0x1, gameport0), probably not 
analog joystick.  -- I think its analog ? 
modprobe joydev
gameport0: Emu10k1 Gameport at 0xd000 size 8 speed 1242 kHz

So I wouldnt think I have to recompile the kernel do I ??
$ lsmod
analog                  9120   0  (unused)
gameport                3268   0  [emu10k1-gp analog]
joydev                  7136   0  (unused)
input                   5696   0  [analog joydev]

so i did a 
$jstest input
Joystick (Unknown) has 2 axes and 2 buttons. Driver version is 0.8.0.
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
jstest: error reading: Is a directory

Its a sidewinder precision pro joystick ... ( x-window user ) 
I googled .. and found the same info you indicated Bascule, but I still have 
no device node or is it named input ????  Am I supposed to make one ...  
any help is appreciated .... 

TIA
