394097 2005-10-07 03:32:00 Ok, I have ditched the idea of using gameport on other advice and have setup the joystick via adaptor to usb.
The adaptor is a tricky dicky special that is according to the site compatible with linux 2.3.4
This is where I am with the usb...

TazzComp ~ # dmesg | grep -i Joystick
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [Padix Co. Ltd. 2-axis, 4-button joystick w/view finder, rudder ] on usb-0000:00:10.2-2

The thing is, as a test I have emerged gl-117 but it doesnt pick up on the joystick. What can I try next...
I also note that jscalibrator does not pick up the joystick in either /dev/js* or /dev/input/js*

Any ideas? Does the DSE adaptor need a driver (never came with one) if so anyone have it or know where it is?

Incidentally, the joystick is a Logitech Wingman Extreme (not new)
