Guest itti Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hi I can't get my Sidewinder Gamepad to work on LM9.0. I've got a Terratec Soundsystem DMX Soundcard (module maestro) with a Gameport. The Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad is connected to the this Gameport. I tried loading Joydev gameport ns558 and sidewinder modules... everything goes fine except the ns558 module that gives me [root@black-sunshine itti]# modprobe ns558/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod ns558 failed I think the Gameport on the Soundcard doesn't work with the ns558 module. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 ns558 is used for built in gameport in the motherboard, I think (according to the help in the kernel compile, it is used for ISA or PnP gameports). Unfortunately, I don't know what chipset it used for soundcard, Terratec DMX? However, try the module pcigame instead. Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itti Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 The Terratec DMX uses the Canyon 3d as soundchip... this is compatible with Ess Maestro2e so therefore the "maestro" kernel module is used. modprobe pcigame gives me: /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/pcigame.o.gz: init_module: No such deviceHint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/pcigame.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcigame failed is there any way to find out for what a module looks before it says "no such device"?

Do exactly as it says : You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg Look in syslog or in the output of the "dmesg" command.
