blight input prob.

[JBranter]

Any idea why the input plugin from blight would cause the prog. to exit when i hit config for it? It does it for both old and new versions of mupen. I tried blight ver. 0.0.8, 0.0.8b, 0.0.10 all the same result. This is new, it always worked before. Same joystick/gamepad, seems to be okay with everything else.

Running SuSE 9.3; YAST says its there and can test it. Actually doesn't matter what's plugged in or not , prog still exits. It flashes a quick little black screen that could be the usual blight input config screen, but it's a split second flash and the whole program exits. Been having strange things going on since I moved a windows partition that shares a drive with my /usr mount. Sound got all screwed up after that, had to mess with and restart sound server a few times, maybe this is related (joy is usb, not to soundcard if it matters). No idea, but wish I could get this wicked plugin (thanks blight!) going again. Won't play mupen without it. Thanks, J.

I uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of SDL things thinking maybe the partition moving stuff screwed up more than it should have which is probably the cause of this. Anything else I should redo or try?

I restarted thinking maybe there was something else that needed to be restated (grasping at straws now) and noticed a 'failed' during the startup sequence. Checked boot.msg and saw...
Starting sound driver: intel8x0FATAL: Error inserting snd_intel8x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-smp/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
failed meaning there is still something messed with the sound, gotta restart it again or something.

Checked dmesg and saw...
snd_intel8x0: Unknown parameter `joystick'
load_module: err 0xfffffffe (dont worry) in a few different places. However, this was also near the bottom...
input: USB HID v1.01 Joystick [MAD CATZ ,Ltd. Mad Catz Game Controller] on usb-0
000:00:1d.3-2.1

Not sure what if any of this is important, just trying to provide more info to get help figuring this out.
