xf86-joystick driver

[Shane Shepherd]

Hello All,

Is there anyway to get an updated xf86-joystick driver that will work on
Redhat 7. I tried recompiling the kernel and anything inside the ".config"
with the word JOYSTICK in it set to yes or M!!! I can not get the joystick
module to load successfully in xorg, but I do have the joydev driver
recognizing the joystick and assigning them in the devices as js0 and js1.
I just can't load the "joystick" module from xorg it tries to load it and
says there is a conflict with the API 21 and then unloads the module


I tried using evdev as the xorg module to load for my joystick, It
recognizes the joysticks and loads successfully with xorg , I can see
events for the 8 buttons and values for my 2 AXIS when I run evtest but
when I try to get the button map for my joystick  "xinput get-button-map"
gets no buttons found output "evdev" doesn't seem to map the buttons and
the pointer movement is off. Even though I tried Option
MapButton1="button1" etc.. in the Input device class.

Sorry I'm not accurate with my error messages I'm doing this from memory.
Any suggestions would be helpful
