the support of joystick is, unfortunately, fairly depending on the card module you use. some needs tuning control switch, some needs another module and some not. see the list below. fm801 has an individual module for joystick, fm801-gp, because this chip has a separate pci configuration for the gameport. this module implements gameport, so you don't need analog module. on other drivers, you need to turn on the control switch. this switch turns on "the legacy joystick support". hence, in addition to that, ns558 module is required. also, don't forget to load analog and joydev modules, too. please note that if you load ns558 module, you have to connect the device physically, since it probes the ports at the initialization phase. this could be true in other modules. the joystick is supported on the following pci cards: ================================================================ snd-als4000 ns558 + analog (optional: module option snd_joystick_port) snd-cs4281 analog snd-cs46xx analog snd-emu10k1 emu10k1-gp + analog snd-ens1370 ns558 + analog activate "Joystick Enable" control snd-ens1371 ns558 + analog activate "Joystick Enable" control (optional: "Joystick Address" control) snd-es1938 analog snd-es1968 ns558 + analog activate "Joystick Enable" control snd-fm801 fm801-gp + analog snd-intel8x0 ns558 + analog (on some chip models only) snd-sonicvibes analog snd-trident analog snd-via686 ns558 + analog activate "Joystick Enable" control snd-ymfpci ns558 + analog activate "Joystick Enable" control (optional: "Joystick Address" control) ================================================================ here, analog means the joystick module corresponding to your device. on isa sound cards, no special treatment. load ns558 and analog modules.
