 |
|
I've been trying to set up my old MS Sidewinder gamepad for days now, and after i load the modules (ns558, gameport, joydev, and sidewinder) i get this weird output from dmesg:
| Code: | input: Microsoft SideWinder GamePad on isa0201/gameport0 [3-bit id 75 data 5]
gameport: NS558 ISA at 0x201 speed 710 kHz
pnp: Device 00:09 disabled.
ns558: probe of 00:09 failed with error -16
|
anyone ever seen this? this is what i get in dmesg after i run jscalibration with the modules loaded:
| Code: | sidewinder.c: Too many bit errors on isa0201/gameport0 - reinitializing joystick.
sidewinder.c: Too many bit errors on isa0201/gameport0 - reinitializing joystick.
sidewinder.c: Too many bit errors on isa0201/gameport0 - reinitializing joystick.
sidewinder.c: Too many bit errors on isa0201/gameport0 - reinitializing joystick.

and it repeats that second bit at least 50 times. my soundcard is an sis7012 (maybe 7018, i can't remember which), but it's covered by module snd-intel8x0 which works fine. does the isa0201/gameport0 bit mean i need to have ISA support in my kernel? jscalibration detects the pad correctly, but i get no response from it, just that wierd message in dmesg. surely someone has a clue about this, because i've used up most every idea i can think of.
thanks in advance!
