I'm having some troubles getting my joystick (MS Sidewinder 3D pro) to work under ALSA. Info:
- Kernel is 2.4.22
- Alsa-Driver is 0.9.7
- Soundcard is Hoontech Soundtrack i-Phone Digital XG (YMF754)
- Joystick is MS Sidewinder 3D pro
- Soundcard is known good (just tried it in a Windows box)
- Joystick is known good (just tried it in a Windows box)
- The card plays sound just fine.
- I assumed that the right driver for the gameport on this card is ns558. Please chastize me if it is not. :-)
At boot, lsmod says:

So, the gameport module seems to be loaded. Trying to load joydev and sidewinder works, but the joystick still doesn't work. Trying to load ns558 gives:
10 (case) /home/matt# modprobe ns558
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod ns558 failed
Looks to me like the port is turned off, but /etc/asound.state disagrees:
control.57 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type BOOLEAN
iface CARD
name Joystick
value true
}
control.58 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type ENUMERATED
comment.item.0 'port 0x201'
comment.item.1 'port 0x202'
comment.item.2 'port 0x204'
comment.item.3 'port 0x205'
comment.item.4 'port 0x30c0'
iface CARD
name 'Joystick Address'
value 'port 0x201'
}With all this modprobing, I don't get any dmesg/syslog info, and jstest /dev/js0 reports: jstest: No such device
I had a thought that ns558 might assume an address of 0x200, but I can't find a way to tell it 0x201.
Any ideas?
