know that there is the GRIP drivers. KDE (Kubuntu) does not recognize the
joystick saying it polled /dev/joyx and could not find any devices. I actually
have 2 joysticks I would like to get working; my Gamepad Pro (great one for any
emulator) and my Gravis Exterminator Digital game pad (best for N64 emulators).
The gameport module is loaded, but not joy or GRIP.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Yes. I have several. In fact, it's the gamepad I recommend to just about anyone
that will listen. Just plug it in and fire up a game or emulator...<br>
<br>
Are you having trouble with it?<br>
