Hi Andrew,

Up through kernel version 2.6.27.9 I have had no problems with
my joystick on the game port. Now with 2.6.28, the game port
is recognized when the gameport and ns558 modules load, but
loading the tmdc module doesn't also automatically load joydev,
and even loading joydev manually doesn't give me a working
joystick. There are no error messages in dmesg, /var/log/messages,
or /var/log/syslog. This is on Slackware 12.1, so I don't think
it's a distro issue. Do I need to do something different than
in the past to make it work, or is there some debug I can turn
on to give more info?
The patch below should help with joysticks attached to gameports;
it should appear in 2.6.30-rc3.

Input: gameport - fix attach driver code
The commit 6902c0bead4ce266226fc0c5b3828b850bdc884a that moved
driver registration out of kgameportd thread was incomplete and
did not add the code necessary to actually attach driver to
already registered devices, rectify that.
