[64studio-devel] Joystick

Hi there!

I discovered that sound programs often use the joystick as an input 
device and I wanted to try, if this is useful for me. I guess it is, but 
activating a joystick on a debian-machine doesn't seem to be that simple 
- at least  for my oldschool midi-/gameport-joystick.

What I have done so far: Loading some modules!

analog, joydev, gameport

...and trying some more...

mknod js0 c 13 0

That didn't help. No /dev/js0 or /dev/input/js0. I found some 
js*-devices under /dev/.static/dev/input/ and so I tried to ln -s them 
to /dev/js0 and /dev/input/js0. The calibration program jscalibrator 
didn't found a joystick.

Can someone help me?

Greetings
Mitsch
