Ubuntu 18.04 How do I connect a Yoke/Joystick












0















I own a Suncom G-Force yoke/Joystick intended for use with flight-sim s/w.



This connects with a 15 way D-connector to a Sound Blaster live sound card. The original drivers were for Win95 only.



The SBLive is supported with emu10k1 modules see lsmod | grep emu10k



snd_emu10k1_synth 20480 0



snd_emu10k1 155648 5 snd_emu10k1_synth



emu10k1_gp 16384 0



gameport 16384 2 emu10k1_gp



I believe the analog module is also needed this can be installed, temporarily with modprobe. But no /dev/jsx nodes are present so the joystick can't be used.



I've tried creating event0 in /dev/input and linking it to /dev/js0.



Can I connect this device. I'm a very occasional user so don't want to spend on a new usb device, which may not work.
