    I got problem with joystick under linux (Slack 10 ,kernel 2.4.26)

    The stick is Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB.

    Im newbie in linux so all I know is:

    When lunch KDE info center I can find that my joysitck is found under USB port (Human Interface Device) and that is identified as Cyborg 3D USB.

    How make it be found in games (Target Rabaul)?

    Problem is that I can't recompile kernel. VIA 8237 & SATA & Linux = boot error. So I use some patched image I found over internet.

    zaloguj jako root i uruchom z konsoli "modprobe joydev"
    upewnisz się, czy załadowane są wszystkie potrzebne moduły (ns"cuśtam"*.ko, joydev.ko i analog.ko o ile dobrze pamiętam *cuśtam to jakaś 3cyfrowa liczba z tego co pamiętam). Joystick da się obsługiwać za pomocą tych modułуw więc Twoje obawy, że będziesz musiał kompilować nowe jąderko są raczej płonne na całe szczęście :D

    Today I tried compile kernel one more time. This time it booted good. Joysitick support. Game port support. Analog joystick support (it supports Cyborgs). USB support. HID support. Everything is fine now. Just some sound error. (alsa can't find any sound card) But I got sound anyway:p

    Oh man configuring linux to support your hardware can be a pain in the ass. *is still waiting for some hacker to program Linux drivers for his new Haupage TV card and SB Audigy LS* :mad:

    It's just becouse hardware manufactures hide their specifications...

    Why can't they just publish their products WITH linux drivers in the first place? I mean there's an ever growing number of linux users on this planet. I refuse to believe that there's no profit to be made here.
