Just some further experementing.
Of the pertinent modules for the gameport, I have the following:
gameport;
analog;
I decded to modprobe ns558. Now after ls /dev/input I get a js0.
Checking with the KDE Joystick app, a dual axis 4 button joystick was
found, but no movement nor button activity registers.
Thinking that mayhaps if I put ns558 into /etc/modules so it would be
inserted during boot time would keep my /dev/input/js0, I do just that
and reboot. However, frustration sets in as after I reboot, I check
/dev/input and there is no js0 device. However ns558 is listed in
lsmod. Any suggestions? Once I get the js0 to be a permanent item,
then I'll continue forward and see if I can get the Gravis Gamepad to
work.
