21.4 Installing a Game Controller

Physically
installing a game controller is straightforward. Simply plug it into
the gameport or a USB port, as appropriate. If the controller has
both connectors, use the USB port unless the documentation suggests
otherwise.

Before you connect the game controller, however, we suggest that you
visit the Microsoft download site and update your copy of Windows to
the latest drivers, particularly DirectX.
