It is Suse 9.1 I have MSFF 'Pro.' YaST says it sees the sound card. YaST says it sees the joystick. When I click on the stupid thing to 'test' the joystick, it says 'Joystick not connected,' or something. I need a driver or module or 'package' or something. I don't know what to do. It would be nice if I could find an RPM that has support for a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro GAME PORT joystick.... Nevermind links that point me to 'things I can compile....' I ain't into 'compilin' anything, yet. If I knew for certain it is hopeless, I would just go and buy YAJS [Yet Another Joystick]. But I don't know. I don't want to spend money on YAJS only to find IT won't work either.... Is there a command to load a joystick module that I need to know about? Please do not answer in Polish or Russian. I don't speak those, nor read them.
Linux Bat with Linux need In this case about modudes of kernel in kernel-doc. I not know Suse and MSFF 'Pro. I only yesterday make force work my Saitek X45 ander ALTLinux.. MSFF 'Pro. is USB or gameport joy? What output you get from command lsmod, that run from root? Have you in system /dev/input/js0,js1 .. files ?
modprobe - is a command , that load modules from command string .. You need read texts in /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-std-2.4.26/input/ directory as I have in my system. You need to insert the modules into the following order: % modprobe joydev % modprobe ns558 % modprobe iforce % modprobe evdev
Thank you for your help, Silverfox. I went to a store and bought a Saitek Cyborg evo. I have it running just fine. No problems. Without force feedback working, there isn't much use for a ff joystick, and from what I learned reading about the state of linux drivers for the FF game port stick, I couldn't anticipate getting FF to work. SO I got a regular twist handle stick. I cannot run warbirds in Linux, yet. But I will soon have Illo and his friends killing me in Target Rabual. LOL
In Linux only I-Force driver now supports force feedback via the event interface. Not know Ciborg is I-Force or not.. Bat for I-Force FF joy need loadeed iforce and evdev modules after all . I saw anytime illo on my six May be I`l saw you in a future
Cyborg evo has spontaniously fucked up now. I can calibrate it from YaST. However, the game, which says I have a cyborg stick, does not show any axes or buttons. It doesn't calibrate nor the other things. Damn, I thought things were fine...
