So this is what is happening. I upgraded my system to 8.04 and now my gamepad (Sidewinder doesn't work). It was working 100% under 7.04 - linux games, Cedega, mame, etc.
Right now if I ls /dev/input I see a js0 there. But, look at what I get when I do:
cat /dev/input/js0
cat: /dev/input/js0: No such device
jstest /dev/input/js0
jstest: No such device
Things are loading like they were before the upgrade:
lsmod | grep gameport
gameport 16008 4 analog,sidewinder,ns558,snd_cmipci
But I don't see my gameport here:

I've looked at various How-to's for gameport/gamepads, but no luck.
any ideas? Thanks!
