Description of problem: After upgrading to Fedora 17 I noticed my joystick no longer works. It appears that the joydev module is not included with the kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install/Upgrade to Fedora 17 2. Try to use Joystick Actual results: Notice the joystick does not work. Expected results: Joystick works
Install the kernel-modules-extra package. It was moved there.
Thanks. Can mention of this new package be mentioned in the release notes? I can open a new bug if that works better. It is just sort of unexpected to see functionality go away after an upgrade, and short of defaulting the install of the package, which probably defeats the purpose of what it's trying to do, documentation would probably be the next best thing. http://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/release-notes/en-US/#id768189
