Dear Mr. Pavlik,
I have SuSE 7.3 installed on my home PC, together with a SoundBlaster PCI
128 soundcard (es1370) and a joystick attached to the gameport. The
joystick is a Microsoft sidewinder, but I also have been equally
unsuccessful with a generic analog joystick. I noticed your message
regarding the failure of the MODPROBE ns558 command.
I have two simple questions:
1. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A JOYSTICK WORKING with the 2.4 Kernel?
2. If it is possible to do it, could you provide instructions or point me to
some sort of instruction/FAQ page?
Thanks!
Regards

The es1370 sound driver handles the game port instead of ns558 for that
card. The sound driver needs to set a control bit on the card to enable
the game port.
