Bug#321772: Module ns558 needs to be loaded twice to work properly
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-16
I am filing this bug against this specific kernel version, although I do
not know, if other kernel versions are affected, too!
My system consists of an ASUS A7N8X (Targa Edition, Rev 1.04, Bios 1028)
running a nForce2 chipset.
There is a Gravis Gamepad Pro (Rev 4) connected to the board's gameport.
I have the modules "joydev" and "grip" loaded, "analog" is not loaded.
This is what I have to do to get the gameport working:
# modprobe -v ns558
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/ns558.ko
#dmesg
(...)
input: Gravis GamePad Pro on isa0201/gameport0
gameport: NS558 ISA at 0x201 speed 685 kHz
pnp: Device 00:11 disabled.
ns558: probe of 00:11 failed with error -16
-> this is quite strange, because the gameport chipset (ns558) ist the
isapnp version!
# ls /dev/input/js*
ls: /dev/input/js*: No such file or directory
# modprobe -vr ns558
rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/ns558.ko
# modprobe -v ns558
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/ns558.ko
#dmesg
(...)
pnp: Device 00:11 activated.
input: Gravis GamePad Pro on pnp00:11/gameport0
gameport: NS558 PnP at pnp00:11 io 0x201 speed 685 kHz
# ls /dev/input/js*
/dev/input/js0
So I have to insmod, rmmod and insmod again the module "ns558" in order
to get it working properly!
BTW: He seems to have just the same problem:
