In my 6 months of using linux, I still can't...

Get my damn gamepad working. I have an interact propad which is supported in the 2.4 kernel. I made it a module and insmod it. Then how do I use it? It doesn't work in any games I try!

Thanks,

Did you modprobe the device? type "modprobe <insmoded module>" and see what that does for you.

Okay ... insmod or modprobe the device .. this is good.
lsmod will list modules. If the module did load and is there, since we are talking games, is there a pointer section entry in your XF86Config file? ... Now that the kernel knows it's there, you need to tell X what to do with the pointer and the buttons. I don't know much about anything outside of mousies or joysticks but there should be a pointer description out there for anything that the kernel knows about..
