dmesg output:

Additional info:
modprobe sidewinder needs to be called after joystick is inserted into
 usb port.

Once the module is loaded and I can run jstest /dev/input/js0 and
everything works.
Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2004-10-16 20:15:01 UTC 
the hotplug scripts should load that module - reassigning to hotplug
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-17 03:53:13 UTC 
Did this work at any point previously?
Comment 3 John Mizell 2004-10-17 14:57:29 UTC 
No, I have never seen fedora or even redhat linux ever load the module
after I plugged the device in.
Comment 4 John Mizell 2004-10-17 14:58:37 UTC 
I am using hotplug-2004_04_01-6
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-17 19:41:32 UTC 
Can you attach the output of lsusb?
Comment 6 John Mizell 2004-10-17 20:33:15 UTC 
Created attachment 105354 [details]
output from lsusb
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2005-02-07 22:53:31 UTC 
I believe the kernel needs to assign the proper ids to the module.
Comment 8 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 17:25:03 UTC 
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.
Comment 9 Jon Stanley 2008-01-20 04:36:55 UTC 
(this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state)

As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug
therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue
still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for
taking the time to report the initial bug.

If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen
