Hello all,
I have Knoppix 3.7 installed to HD, knoppix-mode, running on a generic 900mhz AMD MB with integrated
ports. Everything works ok (that I care about) except for the joystick and I'd really like to get that going.
I don't want to "just use the games knoppix" but rather learn how to make this work, it's just a "standard"
(wired by me) 2-axis joystick that shows up at port $201, verified to work fine under MSDOS on this
same machine. This should be a no-brainer. Joystick drivers appear to be loaded, got the /dev/'s but they
return device not attached. Perhaps they're set to the wrong hardware but I know not what I do... tried
modprobe joydev but that didn't do anything (no errors, no output when sudo), afraid to poke around
too much without knowledge of what I'm doing.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!

Output of lspci -v... (not that it helps but forum note says post it.. the number for video mem looks wrong,
I don't have 128M video mem, it's 16M-32M and yes sisfb fatals and defaults to plain VGA, fine by me unless
that's what's making the JS not work... I seriously doubt it)
