Re: [expert] How do I set up a joystick?
If this is a USB sidewider that you are talking about, try modprobe joydev. Also: rm /dev/js0 ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 might make life a bit easier. Hope this helps. By the way, can anyone tell me how to calibrate said joystck?

[expert] How do I set up a joystick?
I am running Mandrake 8, with fvwm2 as a window manager and no Gnome or KDE. I'm trying to compile/run xmame and need joystick support, but can't figure out how to get it. harddrake shows a line for joysticks, but if I click on it nothing happens. "probing options" lists no configuration tool for joysticks. rpmdrake lists no packages that contain the string "joy". xf86cfg doesn't seem to anything useful that I can figure out (like put a joystick section in my XF86Config-4). I can try "modprobe analog" or turn on my Sidewinder and try "modprobe sidewinder". This doesn't give an error message, but doesn't do anything useful that I can see, either. What can I do to get a working joystick?
