Hi folks, i´m pretty new to Slackware (and Linux in common). I managed to get alot of things working on my own but i can´t quite find a good explanation for installing gamepads anywhere.
I got 2 of em. A Gravis GamePad Pro and a PS2-Dual-shock(connected through an USB-Adapter, i read in an other post those should work too). If i could get any of em to work that would be fine. Even better if its the PS2 one.
To start, i have a full Slackware 9.1 installation. I think the kernel-options for HID, joystick support, etc are enabled. I´m not sure though. didn´t change anything since i´m not sure how to recompile. I only know how to get in the make menuconfig dialog.
I´d like to use the gamepad for Zsnes, wich is also installed and working fine now.
My first guess was to try out every single jsx device with "cat /dev/input/jsX" but none of them seemed to respond.
Can anyone tell me what to do now?
