1.- device file char-major-13 is not only for joysticks, but for ALL USB input devices, including keyboards and mice (do an ls -l under /dev/input ). So the alias in modules.conf would look like this
alias char-major-13 input (not alias char-major-13 sidewinder)
Try alias char-major-13-0 sidewinder if it's /dev/input/js0
This of course, doesn't help with loading my joystick. By the way, my USB optical mouse works perfectly, it's module get's loaded at boot up, not on demand, same with the 'input.o' module. Oh, char-major-15 used to be the joystick device file before Linux 2.4.x (as far as I know).
2.- Three modules need to be loaded for my USB joystick to work (in this order):
input (gets loaded at bootup) joydev sidewinder
pre-install sidewinder /sbin/modprobe "joydev" regards Anders
