Section 2.1 deals with the compilation of the driver package, but since "yum info joystick" reports that it's installed I can skip this section, right? When I do "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV js" I only get symbolic links (js0, js1, js2, js3) in /dev to non-existing files in /dev/input. Since this is quite a common task, maybe it should be added to the Fedora FAQ (www.fedorafaq.org). My Gravis GamePad is non-usb and uses the standard game/midi port. -- August
