 |
|
I am having trouble getting my joystick working. I have a Saitek X52 that I would like to use in some games but when I plug it in /dev/input/js0 is not created. The Kernel recognizes it.
| Code: |
$ dmesg | grep Saitek
[ 1.514447] input: Saitek Saitek X52 Flight Control System as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb8/8-1/8-1:1.0/input/input3
[ 1.534110] generic-usb 0003:06A3:075C.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Joystick [Saitek Saitek X52 Flight Control System] on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input0

I have been searching Google for a fix but all the info I can find is for Ubuntu about replacing the kernel. I'm hoping I don't need to do that because I need KMS from 2.6.31 is order to run some of my games through wine with the radeon driver.
I have a Logitech gamepad as well and it works fine with my current setup. I do not believe it is a kernel issue but you never know 
If needed here is my kernel config. http://pastebin.com/m74846794

Point for you - nothing more there.
What's in your syslog when you unplug that joysstick and plug it back in ? |

The module is loaded automatically at boot. I removed the module and joystick then reattached it. No change the module loads but no /dev/input/js0. Just for kicks I plugged it into a different usb port, nothing.
Edit:
Apparently a patch was submitted to the mainline kernel that was supposed to fix a tablet/touchscreen issue that has caused a regression that makes the X52 no longer work on kernels >=2.6.28. As I do not want to use a kernel that old I guess i'm stuck until this issue can be resolved. If I locate a patch i'll update this thread with my findings. |

VoidMage I just wanted to say thank you for trying to help with this.
Edit
Ok I found a fix for this issue. Here is a patch http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23054. This removes the patch that made the X52 not work with newer kernels. I applied it to gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6. The joystick is now recognized by the kernel and /dev/input/js0 is created. Here is a couple forum threads about this issue Here and Here |
