Re: [PLUG] Joystick detected, but not...
|
OK:
For the sake of being thorough, I tried adding joydev and analog to
/etc/modules.
No change in result.
Also, interestingly, rtc (the real-time clock) module does NOT appear in
/etc/modules. It DOES appear in /etc/modules.conf, aliased to
char-major-10-135.
Any guesses as to where that's being called from?
I also commented out nfs and nfsd...it seems that my networking's going to
be
thru samba for the forseeable future.
Thus, lsmod:

Hey-guess whom I just got an answer from? Vojtech Pavlik, maintainer of
the joystick module. His response consisted of the following:
"You need to use the 'joystick=0x200' parameter to es1371 ..."
So now the question becomes, how do I pass a parameter to a kernel module?
BTW, the reason behind all this is that I want to play Flightgear, the OSS
flight sim. (www.flightgear.org). It is included in Debian. I retrieved it
without trouble, but a flight sim where you have to maneuver with the arrow
keys isn't a whole lot of fun!
