no joystick support

[recri]

Why did you disable joystick support in your "optimized" kernel? It did not make the kernel run faster, and I wasted a day figuring out why none of the online tutorials for enabling a joystick worked.

I guess I didn't realize that using a joystick was even possible... I'll enable the options in the next build (leaving this issue opened until I do so).

[recri]

This is what happens when you try to outwit the hive mind and configure a kernel based on unaugmented common sense, ;-)

[raphael]

aaaah but that way we all get to learn ;) Latest release upgrades Linux to 4.2.4 and should fulfill all your joystick needs.

[recri]

Don't know where you put the changes, they're not in the 4.2.4 linux-samus/build/linux/.config:

# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set

And they're not in the binary either. Maybe I gave you a reversed patch?

[raphael]

I had enabled CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK and all the joystick drivers (CONFIG_JOYSTICK_xxx). I'll build another release also enabling CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV.

[raphael]

The latest release also enables CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV (and upgrades to Linux 4.2.5).

[recri]

That works, thanks.
