What I do on Linux to find out a device name is do "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug in the device and see what shows up. With my USB joystick I had to do some more stuff before I could use it with BZFlag, but the above method told me which port it was on. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
