I recently installed FC2 and installed mythtv. I installed snes9x and mame and have been playing games using my keyboard. I got tired of that so I bought 2 logitech dual action gamepads but I can't seem to get them to work.
I plugged one of them in and nothing happened, they were not recognized at all. I did a /sbin/modprobe joydev. I modified my modprobe.conf file to add an alias wih joydev ( alias-char-major-13 joydev). I downloaded joystick-1.2.15-15.i386.src and went into the directory and did a make but I received an error. I went into the kernel folder and did a make menuconfig (i believe that is what it was called), and recompiled the kernel. That was to no avail and it still is not recognized. If i reboot with the controller plugged in the startup hangs. I am new to gaming in linux, and am only a moderate linux user. I have no more ideas on how to get this working and was hoping someone here had some insight into what i should or could do. It would help if everything was explained from the beginning.
I am sure that there are things that I haven't tried or something that I have done wrong. Doing a google search all i really saw was to do the /sbin/modprobe joydev and it should work. I did an /sbin/lsmod and it showed to of the following:
joydev * * * * * * * * *7169 *0
uhci_hcd * * * * * * * 28505 *0
so the joydev module is installed but i don't know how to get anything to use it. I tried to do a jstest on js0 but jstest wasn't recognized. I have followed all the instructions that i have failed and nothing has worked. Any help would be really appreciated...I just want to play video games
thanks :(
I am sure there is information i left out so if you need additional info just let me know
