plugging in two gamepads
I know to make one gamepad work I type something like
modprobe /dev/js0
what if I put in another one? Is it /dev/js1 ?
Or does it just work?
Thanks,

Well, if you have one working on /js0 and you have a second game port then /js1 would seem logical...

Hey, sorry for bringing back an old thread, but I'm quite interested in whether this is possible. It would be nice to play some games with two game pads at once, but unless I have some idea whether that's even possible to get working it seems unwise to fork out on a second game pad! Google and the forum search haven't turned anything up for me...
Any had any experience trying this?

sorry for never replying - yes it works. Also, since then Fedora now (if I remember correctly) does all of this without the modprobe hack.
