Because the differences to the running Gameport in Knoppix 5.1.1 are not explained plausible. The other reason is that only you can tell me why this can't be a udev problem. I don't have enough knowledge about udev and kernel-driver at all. It is correct that this bug should also be adressed to the kernel modules. > Sorry.

So it is your opinion that debian just need to support hardware that you have? That really like the behaviour of Microsoft - sorry. ;-) >> Here an explanation that doesn't work anymore -> The reason for this bug! >> http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338457 > I see old discussions among clueless people, try to provide a correct > explanation about how to make your joystick work instead. Yes - when the people who could solve the problem are not willing to help, the users must guess how to solve it. (That's also like using Microsoft) >> You need the following Kernel-modules: > If they are not autoloaded then it's a kernel bug.

NOBODY has an idea - that's the reason for clueless discussions.

So the appearance of '/class/input/input1' is the main question and the hint to the bug! Will you leave all this clueless users alone in the future with this problem? Or will you say that they should use something else like Suse? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
