Installing joystick

JaseP · 01-28-2003, 10:31 PM

How stoes one install joystick support for a Gravis Xterminator (gameport not USB) running off of a Soundblaster Live 5.1, running kernel 2.4 (Mandrake 8.2)???

I kinda need a step by step instruction, although I have done modprobe gameport and modprobe joydev.

I don't have a created js# in /dev. What is the process of creating such a reference???

Can anyone help out???

Hi!

/sbin/modprobe joydev
/sbin/modprobe emu10k1-gp
/sbin/modprobe sidewinder

For Gravis Xterminator, I'm not sure if there would be a special module in the last line, as for me sidewinder. emu10k1-gp is the game port of a SB live, instead of standart game port module.

regards,

The last bit would be;

modprobe grip

Thanks...
