My hardware is an ASRock K7S41GX motherboard with Athlon XP2200+ CPU running 2.6.12 on Gentoo GNU/Linux 2005.0. My gamepad is an Heroic HC 3100 2-axis, 4-button digital model with Turbo features. The CVS version string of ns558.c is: $Id: ns558.c,v 1.43 2002/01/24 19:23:21 vojtech Exp $ My motherboard features a generic PC/ISA gameport at BIOS-selectable addresses of 0x200 or 0x208. I have built my kernel (using Gentoo's genkernel) to include the Joystick Interface, Generic PC/ISA Gameport and Analog Joystick support as modules which are loaded at boot by coldplug/hotplug logic. If I manually modprobe ns558 (which loads gameport), analog and joydev after boot my gameport is detected. If I let coldplug/hotplug load the modules at boot then ns558 fails to detect my gameport. If I unload, and then reload, ns558 using coldplug/hotplug at boot then ns558 detects my gameport correctly. My module loading setup and dmesg output for a ns558 insert-remove-insert cycle are as follows: options analog map=gamepad above analog joydev pre-install analog modprobe -r ns558; modprobe ns558 gameport: NS558 ISA Gameport is isa0200/gameport0, io 0x201, speed 806kHz pnp: Device 00:0a disabled. ns558: probe of 00:0a failed with error -16 gameport: kgameportd exiting pnp: Device 00:0a activated. gameport: NS558 PnP Gameport is pnp00:0a/gameport0, io 0x200, speed 806kHz input: Analog 2-axis 4-button gamepad at pnp00:0a/gameport0 [TSC timer, 1786 MHz clock, 1299 ns res] At https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-January/msg04967.html the same problem is reported for 2.6.10 on Fedora. Is a fix or workaround, other than what I'm doing already, available for this problem? Regards, Neil Darlow -- Anti-virus scanned by ClamAV-0.86.1 - http://www.clamav.net
