Details

Description:

The gamecon kernel module for selfmade parport gamepad interfaces (SNES/NES/N64/PS1...) doesn't work properly anymore. It stopped working as of kernel26 2.6.25. The module loads without complaints, nothing unusual in logs and dmesg. However no jostick devices are created.


Additional info:

kernel26 2.6.25.4-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. unload parport printing with modprobe -r lp
2. load gamecon module with modprobe gamecon map=0,1,1,1,0,0 (This should create two joystick devices in SNES mode accessible through the first parallel port of the system)
This task depends upon

Im not quite shure about this....
The recent update to 2.6.25.6-1 is compiled against GCC 4.3.1 and it doesn't work there either.
