Setting up a gamepad...

[kuber]

I have a 8-button gamepad that I want to get working on my linux box. I have jsattach, jscal, and jstest. So I am guessing I have to use jsattach first. The gamepad is going through my soundcard (is this a serial port or com port or something?). So what is this in the /dev? (excuse me, I am a newbie )
Thanks,
jon

You'll need to have joystick support compiled into your kernel, and the modules for joystick ports and analog joystick loaded.
Read your kernel's ./Documentation/joystick.txt for more info.
