hi,
game knoppix dvd is installed on HD debian mode. i've followed instructions to config my sidewinder gamepad on sblive gameport.

1- when i type "modprobe emu10k1-gp" "modprobe joydev" "modprobe sidewinder" in a shell as root, joystick is recognized by jstest and kde peripheral control center (actually i've noticed that "modprobe sidewinder" is enough to have it recognized.)
but anyway, it's not usable in any games i've tried like tuxracer (ppracer) or tuxkart. is it a hardware configuration problem or games ? what game can i try, to be sure ?


2- in order to have it done automatically, i've tried this method, by example >>here<<
but when i reboot, sidewinder module is not loaded and there isn't anymore "sidewinder" "joydev" & "emu10k1-gp" lines in /etc/modules. There's a emu10k1_gp line. [edit /var/log/syslog says "emu10k1-gp" and "joyde"v loaded, but no "sidewinder" ]
it looks like it has ignored my modifications and re-written the previous one.
joystick is not recognized then. what's the problem?

thanx for your help.
