Can't get the gameport to work
Hello,
i'm currently trying to get my gamport working. I have a via chipset
motherboard with an onboard soundcard (under alsa driven by via686a) and
gameport. I'm using a 2.4.17 kernel.
The problem is that i can't install the ns558 kernel module (which i
think is needed for this gameport). Here is the output of a modprobe
ns558:
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: No Plug & Play device found
/lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: init_module:
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod ns558
failed
My idea was to give a parameter to the ns558 module, which specifies the
address of the gameport. As I couldn't find any documentation about
accepted parameters for this module, I tried ioport=0x200, iobase=, ...
but there was always the response of "no valid argument".
Any ideas?
Daniel
