usb alfadata gameport adapter + sidewinder precisi

[riorama]

greetings,

 

Got a good question........

 

I'm trying to get my ms sidewinder to work on my mdk10 box. Ive got an alfadata gameport adapter from radio-shack. I have tried to modprobe sidewinder, hid, gameport, and joydev.

 

lsmod gives me this,

notice that gameport shows the side winder? How the heck do I get this to work!?!

Ive been trying to get this to control rune, sof, snes9x etc..

No luck so far ..... harddrake show the device as usb unkown.

mmm

 

any thoughts would be helpful!
