As of late I have become really addicted to Kubuntu! I am using 7.10 on a few computers I have that will take it. As a matter of fact I am writing this from a PIII A-bit that I have rebuilt for my 5 yr. old daughters pleasure, she really loves it especially tuxpaint.
I recently handed down one of my old joysticks to her, a MS SideWinder 3D Pro Plus. It works great when connected, followed this post here to get er' done.
However once I load the SideWinder module & mess with the joystick, it disconnects my modem if it is connected & will not reconnect until I restart the computer, even if I unload the SideWinder module.
My Modem is an Agere Systems 56k WinModem using the Martian-full-20071011 drivers. I have created a custom startup script in init.d to setup the modem at boot, as follows:
At first I started the joystick by loading at boot through /etc/modules & /etc/modules.conf, like the post I mentioned above said. But as soon as I mess with it in the system settings calibration utility or any other calibration utility & then try to browse the web with my modem it disconnects.
So I commented out the stuff in /etc/modules & /etc/modules.conf, & loaded the SideWinder module from the terminal. Same thing, played with the joystick & the modem disconnected.
I am still relatively new to linux, have been a windows man, but found an os that it so much more self fulfilling for a simple computer guy like me. Any help would be much appreciated by myself & my daughter who really wants to joystick out.
Thanks Much!
