i did a search for gamepad setup and i found this

cesman
modprobe joydev
then try jstest if all is well use modconf to select the module to load on boot.


I am trying to setup a gamepad but all the posts pretain to usb joysticks.

I typed:
Code:
modprobe joydev


then typed
Code:
jstest /dev/js0


i also tryed
/dev/js1
/dev/djs0
/dev/djs1

All of them say:
Quote:
jstest: No such file or directory

it turns out that the joystick drivers that are installed in knoppmyth dont support the soundblaster live gameport.. The new version of joystick 1.2.15 or whatever im away from the site now supports it, but you have to recompile the kernal. i think ill take the usb route. :D
