Joysticks

[Tom Allard <m1tca00@frb.gov>]

I just upgraded my Slink kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.2.10 and wanted to play 
with the joystick drivers.  I've got a M$ Sidewinder (not a 3d pro or 
anything, just a plain analog 2-button, 2-axis joystick that plugs into the 
game module on the soundcard).

I compiled the joystick module and created the js0 device with:

  mknod /dev/js0 c 15 0

But jstest and jscal still can't talk to the joystick:

# jstest /dev/js0
jstest: Operation not supported by device
# jscal /dev/js0
jscal: can't open joystick device: Operation not supported by device

What am I missing?
