Hi,
I downloaded and started the Fedora Games Spin, but I can not get my gamepad to work.
I understand that the joystick support was recently moved to the kernel-modules-extra RPM, and I think that the Games Spin does not contain this. (see here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815168 )
Is there some way the kernel-modules-extra package can be added to the Fedora Games Spin, and that the boot does a 'modprobe joydev' ?
FYI: Under a normal Fedora 17 installation the gamepad works fine after a 'modprobe joydev', so it's not a hardware problem. ;)
kind regards,
Egon

I can look at doing this. I can add kernel-modules-extra. I don't know if I need to worry about PAE, but I don't think we use PAE for live images.
I have figured out which file should get tweaked to load the module. I looked into it a while back and was looking at doing a package to add it. That didn't happen, but I can do that in post.

This is being tracked in bug 841938.
