Hi, I've seen a number of people asking questions about joystick support on soundcards and Alsa. I haven't seen a number of answers. If this has been answered before, pardon my ignorance. I have Alsa successfully working with a SB 16 (ES1371) sound card. I cannot get the joystick support to work at all. Is there some trick to this? I had the joystick support working before I switched to Alsa (using the Linux kernel drivers), but that was years ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Erik. |

Is there some trick to > this? There is a trick to it :) You need to enable the joystick port before loading the ns558 driver, which is done by tweaking a (pseudo-) mixer setting. You can use amixer: amixer cset iface=CARD,name='Joystick Enable' 1 You could put this into your modules.conf as a pre-install action for ns558. Stephen |

Stephen, I was using Alsa 0.5, but now I'm using 0.9 and my sound still works (at least that's good). The joystick still gives me trouble. Your command line below gives this output: [goby: /home/erik] root $ amixer cset iface=CARD,name='Joystick Enable' 1 numid=2,iface=CARD,name='Joystick Enable' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=1 : values=on So, that looks alright. [goby: /home/erik] root $ modprobe ns558 /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod ns558 failed Loading the joystick module still fails. Thanks for your help so far. Erik.
