Thanks for the hint, I left it in my quote because I already tried that. The message is not really related to the hal file itself, but to the device indicated in the hal file, say "SAITEK" or "DUAL" or whatever your device gets named. You can fin out the correct name as indicated here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant "less /proc/bus/input/devices" This worked for me and I am now happily jogging my mill with the dual action joypad greets chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
