Apr 06 16:35:53 <scant> anyone here?
Apr 06 17:22:46 <pmyteh> I'm trying to get joystick support working on my unslung box, so I can use one as a controller for a special project, but I'm having some difficulty. Does anyone have any experience of this?
Apr 06 17:23:27 <pmyteh> I've set up a toolchain and compiled a new kernel with the joydev module, as well as hid and input, but it's only getting me so far.
Apr 06 17:24:26 <pmyteh> When I plug in the USB joypad it's being claimed by the HID driver, but I'm not getting a /dev/input/jsx entry and I'm sure I'm doing something obvious wrong...
Apr 06 17:24:29 <pmyteh> Any ideas?
Apr 06 17:35:18 <[cc]smart> tried crating the device node yourself ?
Apr 06 17:38:33 <[cc]smart> mknod /dev/input/js0 c 13 0
Apr 06 17:38:37 <[cc]smart> see if you can use it
Apr 06 17:44:22 <pmyteh> Fabulous - that's just what I was looking for. Seems to work fine - cat /dev/input/js0 spews appropriate junk when I press buttons on the pad.
Apr 06 17:46:03 <pmyteh> Need to joytest or something compiled and then I can get cracking...
Apr 06 17:47:06 <pmyteh> Incidentally, is there a reason why the joydev kernel module isn't in the optware feed? I'm sure others would find it useful too...
Apr 06 19:21:18 <Jack> Has anyone had success using a microsoft  VX series webcam with the nslu2 - either in original or modified firmware?
