Joystick install

I'm trying to get my Interact ProPad to work on RH 7.3. I added the modules to the kernel, and then loaded them, but for some reason it will not use it, or even assign a device to it. Here's my 'lsmod' readout. (Well, a few lines of it )

joydev 6912 0 (unused)
interact 3384 0 (unused)
input 5792 0 [joydev interact]
gameport 3488 0 [ns558 interact]
cmpci 33236 1 (autoclean)
soundcore 6500 4 (autoclean) [cmpci]

I'm trying to use it with my C-Media 8738's gameport. What am I missing, or forgetting to do? The ns558, I probably never needed, just recently loaded it in.

ok. Now what? This is what I have now.

analog 8800 0 (unused)
gameport 3488 0 [analog]
input 5792 0 [analog]

what happened to ns588 ? anywho - what does jscal /dev/js0 give ya? assuming your joystick is at /dev/js0

**Kernel_Killer** · 09-17-2002, 07:54 AM

jscal: can't open joystick device: No such device

Thanx pbharris! Just for anyone who wants to know, I did a 'modprobe analog', 'modprobe interact', 'modprobe joydev', then did a 'jscal /dev/js0', and all was good.

Oh, and 'modprobe ns558' might help a bit. :P

Thanks. Your ideas got me to figure out how to make my gamport work. Instead of insmod, I used modprobe. And then tried KK's order.

Again thanks. It will be nice to play games that were intended for a joystick on a joystick ;D
