Hello,
I'm using a SNES gamepad at my parallel port. With kernel 2.4.x it
works, but with kernel 2.6.x I get following error while inserting the
module:
# modprobe gamecon gc=0,1,0,0,0,0
FATAL: Error inserting gamecon
(/lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/gamecon.ko): No such
device
# modprobe gamecon gamecon.map=0,1,0,0,0,0
FATAL: Error inserting gamecon
(/lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/gamecon.ko): No such
device
The module lp is not loaded while parport is.
With kernel 2.4.x there are no problems - so is it a bug?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

Hi,

it works for me without problems. are you sure that you loaded
parport_pc as well?

Yes, the modules parport and parport_pc are loaded.
So what else is important and could cause this conflict?
Thanks in advance,

could you send the output of 'dmesg' command? it may give a hint of
what's going on.
thanks,

hm, when I try to start the module with
# modprobe gamecon gamecon.map=0,1,0,0,0,0
or
# modprobe gamecon gc=0,1,0,0,0,0
I get "gamecon: Unknown parameter `gamecon.map'" in /var/log/syslog and
dmesg.
Just trying to load it with
# modprobe gamecon
returns the error again and no message in /var/log/syslog or dmesg.
# modprobe gamecon
FATAL: Error inserting gamecon
(/lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/gamecon.ko): No such
device
So there are no further hints... :-/
How do you load the module? just with "modprobe gamecon" or any parameters?
Greetings,
Alexander

maybe I'm wrong but the format foo.bar= is only used when it's
compiled as built-in, not as module
then, try do:
modprobe gamecon map=0,1
it should work

Yes thanks, it works! Now I can load the module gamecon but the gamepad
does not respond for example with jstest or jscalibrator.
So doesn't my parallel port supply the gameport with enough power?
Thanks,
Alexander
