Trouble loading joystick modules: Device or resource busy
Ok, here's the setup.
Slackware 8 Kernel 2.2.19 Sound Blaster Live Value Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad I have no problems loading emu10k1-joy and joystick, but when I try to load joy-sidewinder (or any other joystick module) I get this error: Using /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/joy-sidewinder.o.gz /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/joy-sidewinder.o.gz: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/joy-sidewinder.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters I suppose I may need to pass on some parameters when I load emu10k1-joy or joystick, but I can't figure out what they are. I've searched deja, the web and many other newsgroups, but can't find an anwser to what shoud be a simple problem. Since this seems to be one of the more active linux boards on the net, I'm hoping someone here has got a working soundblaster joystick port and can offer me some advice. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks. |
Awww, c'mon! Somebody has to know! Tell ya what, if you can give me the answer to this, I'll give you a cookie! You like cookies don't you?

Problem Solved.
I finally found the answer on deja. I just needed to add io=0x200 when I insmod'd emu10k1-joy.
Like so: insmod emu10k1-joy io=0x200 Woo hoo! Now I can play my roms! |
