Joystick no longer working after re-install

[eddo]

Greetings all, as title really. I did a reinstall and my joystick stopped working! I seem to have the right kernel modules installed, but no joy. The joystick does show up, but it's not showing up as /dev/input/jsX. I don't have a specific driver installed but I never needed one before so I don't think that's the problem.

dmesg:
hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6
usb 2-6: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: HORI CO.,LTD. REAL ARCADE PRO.3 as /class/input/input6
input: USB HID v1.11 Gamepad [HORI CO.,LTD. REAL ARCADE PRO.3] on usb-0000:00:04.0-6

Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What do you exactly mean with "reinstall"? Did you reinstall the whole system? Or just some packages/drivers? Did you use a "standard" kernel oder did you compile it by yourself? Is it the same kernel you used before? Or is it a newer version? ...

If the driver is compiled as a module, you can double check with "lsmod" if it's really loaded.

Have you already had a look at the gentoo-wiki? The section "Modules for Joysticks " might be interesting.

I never used a joystick in linux, but it looks like you kernel picks it up alright. You might want to look into writing an udev rule to create the symlink your looking for (the main device node is some /dev/input/event* file).
