 |

Howdie,
I have to USB gamepads that I would like to use. I had both running on my old ubuntu system a while ago.
Now I went and added joystick to my kernel as well as all the modules under joystick. USB works fine with everything else, but the joysticks wont do anything.
/dev/input shows no signs of any joysticks either, yet dmesg shows:
| Code: |
usb 2-8: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: Mega World USB Game Controllers as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0/input/input6
input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Mega World USB Game Controllers] on usb-0000:00:02.0-8

Any hints?

You will need to emerge media-libs/libsdl
You can unmask and emerge games-misc/sdljoytest to test them

Actually it was even simpler than that.. *is embarrased*
I DID compile my fine new kernel and I DID copy it where it should be... but I thought I had just copied it OVER the non-joystick version so no need to change the grub.conf... THAT was a misconception which I found out just now..
So, using the RIGHT kernel everything works just fine 
Thanks. |
