Hi guys,
I need some help with a weird problem.
The joypad I'm using is a playstation 2 pad, connected to an usb port by some green-asia adapter.
When running the live dvd, the pad works fine, but on my gentoo installation, it doesn't.
So I figured there might be something which I overlooked/forgot.
lsusb: Code: | Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0e8f:0003 GreenAsia Inc. MaxFire Blaze2
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub |
in the kernel, I activated (built in): Code: | Device Drivers --->
Input device support --->
<*> Joystick interface
HID support --->
Special HID drivers --->
<*> GreenAsia (Product ID 0x12) game controller support
[*] GreenAsia (Product ID 0x12) force feedback support |
I also enabled the classic analog joystick module (built in), but currently forgot where that one was again..
Code: | modprobe joydev
modprobe analog | had no effect
Apparently, no device files are created under /dev/input
And if I create them myself via
Code: | mknod /dev/input/js0 c 13 0 | my joypad remains unrecognized
I'm sure that the solution is simple, but I can't figure it out >.< |

nvm, I managed to fix this myself
The problem was, that I set the respective kernel drivers to build in, instead to module.
I do not fully understand way, but now, my joypad is working flawlessly |
