Hello, I am sending this report because this has been an off-again, on-again problem in the 2.6 kernel series. Everything was fine when the snd-intel8x0 had built-in gameport support from 2.6.5(??) to 2.6.9. I just simply had to add a file to /etc/modprobe.d containing the following line
options snd-intel8x0 joystick=1 And everything worked fine. Now I recently installed 2.6.10 in Debian and kept getting the same error as has been reported by others ( see ). The patch attached to that bug report works against 2.6.10 and fixes the problem ( at least it did for me ). I would like to see this problem fixed and I'm willing to help in any way I can. Attached to this message is the patch I mentioned above. Thanks! Lawrence Williams
