Hi Ron,
Thanks for reporting. Which set of pedals are you using? For me, both brakes
report -1 when not pressed and 1 when pressed.
I am using the saitek pro pedals. When looking at the raw device output (using
jstest /dev/input/js[01]), I see that (usually), the toe brakes output is only
-32767 or +32767 (with no intermediaries). I also typically find that when I
first plug in the pedals, js_demo reports losing the device.
As mentioned, this is mostly how it is reported. Sometimes the correct values
are reported, which makes me believe that I'm either facing a hardware problem
(which went undetected in older kernels), or the more recent kernels don't know
how to handle the Saitek pedals.
In any case, I might want to try downloading a debian live CD to see what kind
of behavior I'm getting there (or test an older Suse installation).
Cheers,
Durk

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
