lets-eat-gary Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hello, I am newish (2 months) to Linux, and i am so impressed by mandrake linux 9.1, i have got all my hard ware to work (quake 3 is better in linux than windows now!) expect my microsoft gamepad (gameport version) What do i have to do and how do i test it? I have looked at many forums and have never manged to find a solution My specs :- Athlon 1.4 Nvidia 3 ti200 Soundblaster PCI 128 Mandrake linux 9.1 (the best OS i have ever used) Here is part of my lsmod output: es1371 29032 1 soundcore 6276 0 [es1371] ac97_codec 12488 0 [es1371] gameport 3316 0 [es1371] I have seen in a few foums to do - modprobe joydev and modprobe sidewinder, i have done these commands and my pad still doesn't work at all. But here is part of my lsmod after i have issued those commands sidewinder 9816 0 (unused) joydev 7040 0 (unused) input 5664 0 [sidewinder joydev] es1371 29032 1 soundcore 6276 0 [es1371] ac97_codec 12488 0 [es1371] gameport 3316 0 [sidewinder es1371] Have anyone any ideas?

Sarissi Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Your SB PCI 128 should work with no problems. I know, as I use one and love it. Mandrake install sets it up correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets-eat-gary Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 The Soundcard does work fine, it's just the sidewinder gamepad that doesn't. Any ideas anybody? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
