Configuring Joystick

2000-02-29 Thread Cameron Matheson
Hey,   I'm trying to get my joystick working in Linux.  The kernel detects it as startup (as js0), but I have no js0 device.  I did ./MAKEDEV js, but I got the error:   ./MAKEDEV:  device: unknown major number for Joystick.   What does this mean?   thanks, Cameron Matheson
