Bug: Joystick Driver doesn't talk to CMPCI gameports`

Bug: Joystick Driver doesn't talk to CMPCI gameports`

[David Findlay]

I have a C-Media 8738 card built into my motherboard. The sound works fine.

I use these command as from the joystick documentation:

modprobe cmpci joystick=1
modprobe joydev
modprobe analog

I am using DevFS and kernel 2.4.9. Nothing appears in /dev/input where js0 
should actually appear when I insmod the analog joystick. The results of 
lsmod after doing those commands:

Workshop:/dev/input# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
analog                  6960   0  (unused)
gameport                1808   0  [analog]
cmpci                  28416   0

It appears that instead of using the cmpci gameport, it is using the gameport 
driver or something. Could someone please help me either get it going if 
there's a workaround, or otherwise tell me what code to look at to fix it? 
Thanks,

David

The cmpci driver still doesn't register a gameport, you need the ns558
module as well.
