How do you use an MS Sidewinder Precision Pro
I have an old (working, thankfully) Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick. It connects with a gameport.
I can't for the life of me get this thing to work in Ubuntu (or Linux in general, anymore). I've made sure all the right kernel modules are loading (gameport, emu10k1-gp, sidewinder, joydev) however nothing shows for /dev/input/js0 or /dev/js0.
I've tried making the nodes using mknod per the input-driver's author's website (/usr/src/
What am I missing? All the hardware in question is working (verified by booting into Windows XP).
I have attempted to get in touch with the author (Vojtech Pavlik) over a month ago but have not received a response.
