I have not found a device.hints line for joy. Well, I have found several "suggested" joy device.hints lines such as: hints.joy.0.at="pci0" hints.joy.0.at="isa" I found these while mucking around with google. Now I am pretty sure the ISA deal is not the way to go because, well, its a pci sound card. But I have tried both of them anyway. Next I will try put device joy in the kernel(instead of kldload joy). Now looking around in the BIOS has lead me to associate the string "200-207H" with the gameport, and it seems like this might be something useful, but gosh, I dunno. -- What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away
