Compiling Joystick Driver

barry2811 · 06-03-2005, 10:57 AM

I'm trying to compile the joystick driver. I'm using Mandrake 10.2 and I've installed the kernel source from CD3. However, when I try to make the joystick driver I get the following error;

Code:

gcc -O2 -Wall -pipe -m486 -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c joystick.c -o joystick.o

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Hi!

What kind of joypad/stick do you have?. Because I've had nothing but good experiences with Linux and USB joypads out of the box. I use myself a PS2 joypad with an USB adapter. All I had to do is to load the correct modules. E.g:

su -
modproble joydev

Then, to test your joypad, type cat /dev/js0 and press a few buttons on your joypad. If some "garbage/weird" characters are displayed on your terminal, then you know your pad is working

Good luck!

It's a sidewinder on the gameport. Once I got my gameport recognised correctly then I did the cat /dev/input/js0 and it seemed to work fine. I can't get it to work with xMAME though. It doesn't show in the list of the devices (only keyboard and mouse do). I guess my problem might be related to xMAME now then.

Thanks.

barry2811 · 06-04-2005, 01:00 PM

Got it going now. Re-compiled xMAME commenting out the X11_JOYNAME line and then used the jdev argument to pass /dev/input/js to xMAME at run-time and my sidewinder is detected.
