You are right, everything *is* working.
???????????????????????????????????????
I wanted to run jstest once again, because I had noticed it only
reported values up to 1024, while man was talking about 32565 something.
I started jstest as root, and had values into 32000. js_demo working too.
The only change I remember was /etc/modules.conf, because I had a
non-working:
post-install emu10k1-gp modprobe joydev
post-install emu10k1-gp modprobe sidewinder
and now:
post-install emu10k1-gp modprobe joydev
post-install joydev modprobe sidewinder
and fgjs working too, and it's weekend, I'll be flying
if it still works tomorrow
Thanks and sorry for the bothering you for nothing
