Hello.
I have posted this question before (in Nov), without getting any
responses. I am trying to get a handle on whether or not Storm supports
analog joysticks, and have been told that I need to compile support into
the kernel. This contradicts what others have told me (and what I
believe) about this kernel. I have verified that the game/midi port on
the ES1371 works on windoze (ick). Looking at the state of the loadable
modules in Storm, I believe that I can load modules rather than
recompile. Am I totally wrong here?
I checked in /dev for the appropriate devices, and came up empty. If I
understand correctly, js0 is the expected name for the device, so I did
the following:
mknod /dev/js0 c 15 0
chmod 664 /dev/js0
chgrp audio /dev/js0
-to establish said device. Did I botch something here? I assume that
Linux associates this device with the hardware using the parameters I
pass in modconf, which seems to be where the problems begin.
Running modconf allows me to install the joystick.o module, but then it
barfs when I try to install the joy-analog.o module. I have tried
passing many different parameters to modconf, but the error only changes
to a complaint of missing parameters if I leave off the button bits.
The parameters, as I understand it, should be:
js_an=0x200,0x0033
-for a base address of 200, and the two buttons on the first joystick.
But I could be misinterpreting my info. I have uncommented the
appropriate sections in XF86Config, BTW.
Could someone shed some light on what the problem here may be? I know
that a number of the users on this list have ES1371 soundcards, and I'd
imagine that at least a few of those must have an analog joystick
working on said card. Could I please have your module parameters from
/etc/modules.conf?
TIA,
Mike
