For the details of gameport -support, refer to Documentation/input/joystick.txt. - -The joystick support of ALSA drivers is different between ISA and PCI -cards. In the case of ISA (PnP) cards, it's usually handled by the -independent module (ns558). Meanwhile, the ALSA PCI drivers have the -built-in gameport support. Hence, when the ALSA PCI driver is built -in the kernel, CONFIG_GAMEPORT must be 'y', too. Otherwise, the -gameport support on that card will be (silently) disabled. - -Some adapter modules probe the physical connection of the device at -the load time. It'd be safer to plug in the joystick device before -loading the module. - - -PCI Cards ---------- - -For PCI cards, the joystick is enabled when the appropriate module -option is specified. Some drivers don't need options, and the -joystick support is always enabled. In the former ALSA version, there -was a dynamic control API for the joystick activation. It was -changed, however, to the static module options because of the system -stability and the resource management. - -The following PCI drivers support the joystick natively. - - Driver Module Option Available Values - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - als4000 joystick_port 0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect, - manual: any address (e.g. 0x200) - au88x0 N/A N/A - azf3328 joystick 0 = disable, 1 = enable, -1 = auto (default) - ens1370 joystick 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable - ens1371 joystick_port 0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect, - manual: 0x200, 0x208, 0x210, 0x218 - cmipci joystick_port 0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect, - manual: any address (e.g. 0x200) - cs4281 N/A N/A - cs46xx N/A N/A - es1938 N/A N/A - es1968 joystick 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable - sonicvibes N/A N/A - trident N/A N/A - via82xx(*1) joystick 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable - ymfpci joystick_port 0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect, - manual: 0x201, 0x202, 0x204, 0x205(*2) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - *1) VIA686A/B only - *2) With YMF744/754 chips, the port address can be chosen arbitrarily - -The following drivers don't support gameport natively, but there are -additional modules. Load the corresponding module to add the gameport -support. - - Driver Additional Module - ----------------------------- - emu10k1 emu10k1-gp - fm801 fm801-gp - ----------------------------- - -Note: the "pcigame" and "cs461x" modules are for the OSS drivers only. - These ALSA drivers (cs46xx, trident and au88x0) have the - built-in gameport support. - -As mentioned above, ALSA PCI drivers have the built-in gameport -support, so you don't have to load ns558 module. Just load "joydev" -and the appropriate adapter module (e.g. "analog"). - - -ISA Cards ---------- - -ALSA ISA drivers don't have the built-in gameport support. -Instead, you need to load "ns558" module in addition to "joydev" and -the adapter module (e.g. "analog"). |
