Madcatz Panter XL joystick and Slackware 9.1
ok....
i have installed Slackware 9.1. It is up and i was even able to get the video, sound, my scroll wheel, my Epson CX5400 printer to work.... i was even successful in getting SAMBA and WINEX properly configured and working. Now for days and days i have been trying to get my Madcatz Panther XL joystick installed.... i have searched and searched.....found several things....but no success in getting the Panther XL to work.. i was able to get the jstest, jscal, and jsattach comands installed....i have tried modprobes, insmods, editing the rc.modules(and then restarting it), editing the XF86Config....etc... i have the 2.4.22 kernel...dmesg sees my game port....i have sound...a cat of /dev/js0 says no such device.....i have run xconfig to look at my kernel and it says joystick support is enabled.... after all my efforts and many many hours i run into the same wall....so i thought i would post the question... thanks for your time.... dig -derfaust |
could you tell me what you did to get the cx5400 to work?

I also tried the setup test that is part of the Allegro library, with similar results. So far, I haven't found a Linux game that will use the joystick, though. |
well...i came across this post and noticed i had not replied to it with a fix...
and no...the panther XL is not a USB joystick.... SOLUTION.----> to get it to work i put a line /etc/rc.d/rc.local '/sbin/modprobe a3d' and then in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules i uncommented these lines... # Joystick input: /sbin/modprobe joydev and # Sound Blaster Live support: /sbin/modprobe emu10k1 reboot....and viola!!...it works.... dig dig and dug and as always...... |
