[ale] Joystick Under Linux

[Calvin Harrigan]

Greetings fellow alers,  I have a question.  On my RedHat 7.1 machine, stock 
everything, I can't seem to get my joystick kernel modules to load 
automatically.  Nothing I do seem to work.  I've had success with setting up 
my scanner, video card, sound card, and tv/radio cards to load automatically, 
but nothing for the joysticks.  If I load the joystick modules manually 
everything works just fine, I just don't want to have to load the modules 
everytime I need to use zsnes.  I scoured the net but I've only found info on 
how to do what I am doing already and that as we know doesn't work.  I've 
attached my modules.conf file for any comments, suggestions:
