Daveleh Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to get a Maxfire G08 Gamepad working under ML9.0 with KDE3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 What kind of gamepad is it? USB? Gameport? I think it can still work as a 4 button gamepad if you configure the kernel module correctly. Gamepad unfortunately is one of the weak links in linux hardware support. You need to do a lot of experimentation with loading the kernel modules to make it work, maybe read a lot about the joystick how-to or something.

You need to do a lot of experimentation with loading the kernel modules to make it work, maybe read a lot about the joystick how-to or something. It's a serial game/joystick port model. I'm not yet up to the stage of configuring the kernel so I guess I'll just have to leave it for now. Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
