Please tell me why it cannot be a problem of udev? :-) > You tell me, I do not own a joystick and have no idea about how they work. You don't need a joystick, you just need a joystick port. It is existent on most mainboards although there is no connector (Sub-D 15) outside. Just check your BIOS settings if there is the possibility to enable it. And additionally it is existent on much older soundcards. The Joystick Port supports the simple ability to read 4 buttons and 4 resistors (axis) There is also a MIDI-Port implemented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_port http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joystick Because it is not really used any more, it is exact the reason why it is an interesting port for other usage. With joyd you can use it for hardware input of external signals. As i have written Debian and Ubuntu are the only distributions where this does not work (any more)!!! So if you have this port you can try to load the drivers. Here an explanation that doesn't work anymore -> The reason for this bug! http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338457 You need the following Kernel-modules: # Port gameport joydev emu10k1-gp (Soundblaster) ns558 (AC97 + M5455) snd-mpu401 (AC97 + M5455) sidewinder (MS Gamepad) analog (Analoger Joystick) So normally you need gameport, ns558, analog In my last post before you can find the reason why it must be a UDEV problem. The configuration points to '/class/input/input1' and that can't be correct. When i look in the configuration of Knoppix 5.1 where the Joystick works, i find: >grep -i "js" * 020_permission.rules:KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", MODE="0664" udev.rules:KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", NAME="input/%k" The complete definition of js* is missing !!! Another question is why it is missing. It was running before some years, so something must have gone wrong. And what else has gone wrong? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
