Date: 10 Sep 2000 17:36:27 +0200 Message-ID: <8pg9pr$2gu0$1@ganerc.mips.inka.de> To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org What's the extend of our joystick support (in -STABLE)? joy(4) supports a traditional analog joystick on ISA, port 0x201. That probably works for game ports on ISA sound cards. What about game ports on PCI sound cards? I have a Soundblaster 64V/128PCI in one machine, and there's no sign that the game port is recognized. Also, analog PC joysticks seem to be dead technology, all currently available ones are USB. Are these supported in any way? What would the API be anyway? Some friends tell me, that Linux has a kind of bridge device that maps a USB HID joystick to a traditional analog PC joystick device. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
