Joystick in FC5

[egr]

HI!
Now after I got video driver to work i want my joystick! I have USB Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and I can see it in Hardware Browser however I don't see it as a device in /dev/input/... any advice?

P.S. This joystick worked fine in FC4 "out of the box"

[egr]

here is what stays in /proc/bus/input/devices:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c215 Version=3500
N: Name="Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D Pro"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3
H: Handlers=event2
B: EV=b
B: KEY=fff00000000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=30063

so the joystick must be in /dev/input/event2 however
jstest /dev/input/event2 gives me permissions denided or (if run as root)

jstest --event event2
Joystick (Unknown) has 2 axes and 2 buttons. Driver version is 0.8.0.
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

jstest: error reading: Invalid argument

it doesn't even detect right number og axes and buttons

cat /dev/input/event2 does react on joystick actions, it seems that joystick works fine, and problem is elsewhere

see this from suse forum , can it solute, if so tell me

Configuring your joystick is quite easy

Before you start (if you are using Kernel 2.4) you should make the symbolic links for old programs. Since the kernel 2.4 the joystick devices are located in /dev/input and not under /dev like before. To generate the symbolic links perform the following commands:

ln -sf input/js0 /dev/js0
ln -sf input/js1 /dev/js1
ln -sf input/js2 /dev/js2
ln -sf input/js3 /dev/js3

To configure the analoge joystick on the gameport of your soundcard you need a already configured soundcard. I assume you already have this.

Now you need to load the driver-modules for running the joystick:

modprobe joydev
modprobe ns558
modprobe analog

To automatically load the modules at boot-up you can add this 3 lines to your file "/etc/init.d/boot.local":

/sbin/modprobe joydev
/sbin/modprobe ns558
/sbin/modprobe analog

For ISA-PNP Soundcards it is necesarry to initialise the soundcard and the joystick port. This is done by the folowing command:

pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

At next boot the joystick will be automatically inited because the file /etc/isapnp.conf already exists than.

To test your joystick you can use the program jstest:

jstest /dev/js0

It will display the joystick-values (they should change when you move your joystick / press buttons).

To calibrate your joystick you can use the program jscalibrator (/usr/bin/jscalibrator). You will need the package libjsw (serie d) and libjsw-calibrator (serie d).

That is it, now you should be able to use the joystick in games (clanbomber etc...)..
