[PLUG] Joystick detected, but not...
|
Ok,
I am still unable to get my joystick to work under linux:
Libranet 2.0
Joystick is plugged into a game port on sound card (SoundBlaster PCI128).
It is a Gravis analog joystick. All software for using/calibrating
joysticks fails to find a joystick attached to the system.
Guidance I got here led me to try "modprobe joydev" and "modprobe analog".
Apparently these are necessary but not sufficient.
Under Win98, resources allocated are as follows:
Soundcard-I/O DC00-DC3f
IRQ 5
Joystick -I/O 0200-0207
(the joystick works fine in windows)
In linux, using the KDE Control Center, I go to Information|IO-Ports
and see the soundcard listed, (with the same I/O) but not the joystick.
The USB ports share IRQ 5 in both windows and linux.
Relevant parts from dmesg are:

Note that I've been modprobing joydev and analog manually.
Does anyone have a clue why, given that the joystick is detected, the
system is not allocating I/O space to it?

PS: Some of the modules I don't recognize. I have no idea what
sd_mod, sr_mod, lockd, sunrpc, and rtc do. Is there a handy way of getting
documentation for a module with just its name?
