Does anyone have their joystick port working on their (es1938(es1969)) ESS
Solo-1? I'm having problems ever since kernel 2.4.x and alsa 0.9.x. It worked
fine in kernel 2.2.x and alsa 0.5.x. I have a Gravis Gamepad Pro. After I had
upgraded some time ago, and it stopped working, I started using a very very
old 8bit ISA gameport card ripped from an old XT. Since my only ISA port
shares it's slot with one of the PCI slots, it soon had to be removed. So then
I simply dumped alsa for the kernel esssolo1 module :( It worked for about a
month, but now suddenly I'm having problems with that too. 

>From what I can tell, I don't need the ns558 module. It doesn't load anyways,
irq conflict or something. And it worked for some time without it. I am 
loading joydev, gameport, input, and grip modules. With the kernel solo1
module, syslog reports that it finds the js port, and a grip device on
that port. Alsa reports nothing. Either way things like snes9x report
some bs about no such device /dev/js0. It worked fine a week ago. 

I'm no expert at this stuff.. but I dug around in the alsa source, and it
looked to me like it's looking at 0x9400. When the kernel module worked,
it reported the js port at 0x9401 in the syslog. Is that ok? *shrug* I'm
really lost here. I probably sound like a blithering idiot.

I'd love to use alsa again, I enjoyed it for a long time in the 2.2.x days.
All the /dev/input devices are correct and have the right major,minors. There
are symlinks to /dev/js*

Any help is _very_ appreciated. I'm stuck playing stupid card games and gtkgo
until I get my joystick working again.. Please help me, I must be missing
something.  Thanks.
