My joystick

[Vincent Wong]

Hi! I am a Linux Newbie. That's why I visit here.
I have used Linux for nearly a year(but still a newbie), but I have some hardware problem which I can't slove.

My joystick is Logitech ThunderPad Digital and my sound card is Ess Solo1.
My sound card can work under Linux(using OSS) but yet I can't get my joystick work under Linux(it works in windows).

I have installed the joystick rpm in my RedHat.
So I try to modprobe some module.
#modprobe joy-logitech (can't work)
#modprobe joy-warrior (work)
I don't know how to do then. I read some books saying that type # jstest /dev/js0 to continue but it says no such device. I can't get my joystick work :(

I have seen some post about joystick here.
I don't know how to compile kernel to support joystick.

If anyone can help me, that would be great!

Thanks!

What disro are you using? And second did you read the Joystick text file in the /usr/src/2.4.* folder? I can't get my joystick to work in RedHat 7.1 so don't feel bad. :D I just figure I'll try to help you out somewhat...

P.S: Oh, I'll like to give you a warm welcome to the Linux and the community. :)

I am using RedHat Linux 7.0 with kernel2.2.17-14
{some cuttings of my system}
#dmesg
Linux version 2.2.17-14 (root@candyz)
(gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release))#1 Mon Mar 5 19:15:53 CST 2001

solo1: version v0.11 time 19:31:58 Mar 5 2001
solo1: ddma base address: 0xd000
solo1: joystick port at 0xb401

I read the joystick file in here
/usr/share/doc/joystick-1.2.15/README

I try to follow but I can't work, always says 'No such device' I am sure that my joystick is supported(the doc says so)
The doc also says that I need to read previos faq using 2.2 kernel. Any ideas/solution?
