AWE64 Joystick help!


Well, I am unfortunate enough to own an AWE64 PnP card. From my various searches I gather this card is one tough cookie to setup, and of course I'm having troubles. I got sound support to work 100%, however, when trying to enable my joystick I cannot get anything at all to register. Of course the most modern joystick drivers *should* be built into the 2.4.9 kernel, and yet they load and don't setup any device files(js* are all disabled). If ANYONE knows what to do about this please let me know?

IsaPnP IS enabled in the kernel.

To solve my own problem, I had loaded the modules for joysticks in the wrong order. I also compiled in my specific gameport type(because it wasn't loading as a module correctly). Works great now!

/sbin/modprobe joydev
/sbin/modprobe <joystick type>

also make sure your /dev/input/js*'s are linked back to /dev/js* for backwards compatibility.
