Post subject:  setting up a gamepad

im trying to set up the game pad i have here with knoppmyth r4v4
and i cant seem to find much infomation to seting up a couple places saying i need to change things in the kernal(which i dont know how to get to that to change the things) and to use jstest on /dev/js0 which it doesnt find a device even tho the game pad i have is installed

the game pad is the saitek p750, and im useing usb
would it be easyer if i used the midiport? or
perhaps theres a game pad thats a lot easyer to install?

Thanks

modprobe joydev

Logitech Wingman Wireless Rumblepad. Less rumble it works great! I pick up two of them on eBay for about 15.00 several months back.

Can myth support 2 gamepads for head to head action?
I've been so wrapped up in the tv side of myth, I forget how full-featured this thing is!

Myth has nothing to do with how many gamepads you use. BTW: I use two.

Is it within the realm of possibility to get the gamepad to work the game select menu instead of having to switch back to kb? Just wondering...

You'd need to use a program like joy2kb, google(or freshmeat) for details.
