It looks like this is indeed what is happening. I've been having some 
calibration problems ever since upgrading to Suse 11.4, and it looks like the 
normalized values for the toe-brakes can only be 0 or one, being zero when I'm 
not touching them. I wasn't aware of that yesterday, but it looks like the toe 
brakes should operate in the range of -1 to 1, so that 0 means that the breaks 
are half pressed. 

It looks like both my FlightGear desktop and my old laptop (both running 
opensuse 11.4) are showing the same problem, while the pedals are working 
correctly  on my (work) macbook; obviously, I would almost add. 

I hope I can get this to work, because this looks like a nagging little problem.

If not, I might be facing a kernel upgrade, or downgrade....

Cheers,
Durk


In any case, sorry about the noise...
