Mahendra Tallur, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

My USB gamepad is controlling both the mouse pointer AND the joystick (in rrootage for instance) at the same time. To get it running at all I had to : - install xserver-xorg-input-joystick - copy acrux-usb-gamepad-8116.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy (provided here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done ) - unplug and replug the joystick after the X server is loaded Those three steps are apparently mandatory otherwise nothing works. (the stick LED doesn't remain lit otherwise) Actually it raises several issues ! 1. the need for the the aforementioned steps 2. the need to unplug / replug 3. the fact that evdev seems to lock the controller and assign it as if it were a mouse Thanks a lot for reading this, cheers ! Attached : lshal output, where the gamepad does seem to be detected properly.
