Hi!

Right now using the joystick with a trident sound card
on 2.4.x is not possible.

The joystick/pcigame give me tons of problems, like pci resource
conflicts and oops, anyway I'll came back soon with more detailed
data about that...

Trident Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver

Forgetting the enhanced game port we can use the old legacy ISA ns558
driver but is a no go because the trident sound driver doesn't enable
that port :(

This patch allow to enable the legacy joystick port on
Trident 4DWave DX/NX.
The patch adds a new trident module param (joystick)
and a new config option.
I didn't try with a monolithic kernel, I hope that joy driver
driver will came after the sound driver..

Before xmas I need to turn my linux server on a X11box ;)

happy gaming,
luca

follow patch against 2.4.17rc2 inspired from a 1999 alsa-devel post:
