Can someone out there help? I'm running Mdk8.0, and have a MS Sidewinder
gamepad attached to a SB Vibra16 gameport. Sound works fine. I've
downloaded and installed the js utilities package for testing the install.
My /etc/modules.conf has this line added:
alias char-major-13 joydev ns558 sidewinder
But, /sbin/lsmod doesn't show anything about a joystick and #jstest /dev/js0
returns "jstest: no such device"
So, I #modprobe joystick
#modprobe ns558
#modprobe sidewinder
And now /sbin/lsmod looks like this:

Still, jstest returns the "no such device" error, so I tried the following,
removing the /dev/jsX and recreating them, then:
#ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0
and did the same for js1,js2,and js3
I still don't have a gamepad, and would really like to know what I'm missing
here. And, shouldn't my /etc/modules.conf load the js on startup?
Feeling real dumb right now,
