ENS1371 joystick problem, bug in driver?

ENS1371 joystick problem, bug in driver?

[Juan Linietsky]

I cant seem to get the joystick port to run under this card (Ensoniq 1371)
under alsa 0.9.rc6.

jstest on /dev/js0 (and others) returns no such device.

However it seems to work fine on the OSS/Free driver 'es1371.o' with parameter 
'joystick=1'

Relevant sections to /etc/asound.state:

state.AudioPCI {
        control.1 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type BOOLEAN
                iface CARD
                name 'Joystick Enable'
                value true
        }
        control.2 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type ENUMERATED
                comment.item.0 'port 0x200'
                comment.item.1 'port 0x208'
                comment.item.2 'port 0x210'
                iface CARD
                name 'Joystick Address'
                value 'port 0x200'
        }

I tried using all the values above, but nothing works, and higher values are 
ignored (error is reported).

However, when using the OSS/Free driver, by doing cat /proc/ioports shows the 
follownig

0218-021f : es1371

I can however, as mentioned above, not set such value on /etc/asound.state.

Juan Linietsky.

You might have better luck with 0.9.7c.

The driver cannot change the gameport's port address while it's
enabled, so you have to disable the joystick, then change the port,
then enable it again.

i'm working on taking the joystick stuffs back to the module
parameters again.  will be finished in a couple of days.
