Distribution: Debian testing & unstable

Problem Description:

I am using the 2.6.0-test4 kernel. I have loaded the
joydev/emu10k1-gp/sidewinder modules. The sidewinder driver, however,
appears to not work properly.

I have a Sidewinder Gamepad connected. I have also tested with my old Gravis
Gamepad. (analog)

joydev/devfs creates /dev/js0 symlink. jstest /dev/js0 is responsive.

The same problem occurs while using the normal gameport drivers.

Comment 1 Vojtech Pavlik 2004-02-01 02:39:45 UTC

This looks like a HW problem. Either sidewinder/emu10k 
incompatibility or a dead sidewinder.

Comment 2 Vojtech Pavlik 2004-02-01 02:40:20 UTC

Can you try to insert the 'joydump' module to see if anything is coming
out of the sidewinder?

Comment 3 CASTET Matthieu 2004-07-16 12:23:23 UTC

I have the same probleme with ns558 on i810 gameport.
The joystick work well on 2.4 with SB live pci and AWE 64 isa.

See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5057077&forum_id=1751
for more detail and the joydump result.

I have also put some printk in sidewinder see atachement

printk in sidewinder, I don't know what are the firsts values???

for this I add some printk as you can see below, and set strobe to 400.


	strobe = 400;//gameport_time(gameport, SW_STROBE);
	bitout = start;
	pending = 0;
	sched = 0;

	local_irq_save(flags);					/* Quiet,
please
 */

	gameport_trigger(gameport);				/* Trigger */
	v = gameport_read(gameport);

	do {
		bitout--;
		u = v; 
		v = gameport_read(gameport);
printk("u v  : %x %x\n",u,v);
	} while (!(~v & u & 0x10) && (bitout > 0));		/* Wait for
firs
t falling edge on clock */ 

	if (bitout > 0) bitout = strobe;			/* Extend time
i
f not timed out */
printk("bitout : %d\n",bitout);
while ((timeout > 0 || bitout > 0) && (i < length)) {

		timeout--;
		bitout--;					/* Decrement
tim
ers */
		sched--;

		u = v;
		v = gameport_read(gameport);

printk("bitout1 : %d v %x %x\n",bitout,v,~u & v);
		if ((~u & v & 0x10) && (bitout > 0)) {		/* Rising edge
o
n clock - data bit */
printk("ok\n");
			if (i >= 0)				/* Want this
dat
a */
				buf[i] = v >> 5;		/* Store it */
			i++;					/* Advance
index
 */
			bitout = strobe;			/* Extend
timeou
t for next bit */
		}

The second time I reload sidewinder, there are no strange printk at the begining...

Comment 7 Bjoern Michaelsen 2004-09-25 17:04:17 UTC

I can confirm this, My Sidewinder 3D Pro doesnt work under 2.6 anymore - it did
flawlessly work with 2.4 kernels (I tried both the analog and the sidewinder
driver).

Comment 8 Bjoern Michaelsen 2004-09-26 13:40:15 UTC

"Sidewinder doesnt work under 2.6 anyone"
means "doesnt work in any 2.6 kernel I tried anyone" of cause (this including
2.6.1/2/3/4/5/6/8.1 and 9rc2)

Comment 9 Anthony Sevigny 2004-12-08 14:57:55 UTC

I'm new to this... but I've got a problem with my Microsoft Sidewinder 
Precision Pro (gameport). 
 
When I initiate the module for it, I get this:

My kernel is 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 
 
The gameport is on my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card, using the cs46xx ALSA 
driver (kernel built it). 
 
 
I don't know what else I can do to help. And sorry for the large post.

Comment 10 Nishanth Aravamudan 2005-10-30 16:36:27 UTC

Is this still a problem in current kernels (last posts seem to be from
2.6.8/2.6.9  last year!)? Vojtech, do you have any idea why these things are
happening, or is it, as you said, just hardware errors?

Thanks,
Nish

No news for this bug ?

My sidewinder forcefeedback pro is still broken.

Hmm, how about the latest kernel (2.6.23+). Let's refresh the data with the latest current kernel.


Thanks.
