snes joystick help
 
How may I use a joystick? I pluged in the joystick according to this site then I try to load gamecon like this

Code:

modprobe gamecon gc=0,1,0,0,0,0
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/gamecon.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/gamecon.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/gamecon.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/gamecon.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/gamecon.o.gz: insmod gamecon failed

I tryed searching but it didn't help. I already have parport, parport_pc, and joydev modules loaded. I want to use the snes joystick. How may I get it working?

Thanks in advance!

[Edit] I got it working
Solution:
login as root without using "su" and it will work.

i think you must change some permissions or add yourself to some group.
it's not wise to run as root, and even more dangerous with online gaming.
