Hi JD, Thanks for the response!

Played with all this for *hours* last night and this morning and am starting to have misgivings about the stick. The whole thing just seems incredibly flakey. About the best I have done with it is to get the throttle where it works in the right direction and with a limited degree of travel (about 1200-2200 RPM). The rest of the control surfaces make MAJOR jumps and to resolve this I *really* do not look forward to making changes in the 0.01 range stepping through each axis range of values, but if it is going to work with any degree of acceptability, I am afraid that is what it is going to take, assuming there are not other problems elsewhere. I haven't started rooting through the source/docs yet but I am not sure that the .fsgsrc gets read back in on a (file-> reset) which is moot in any case since *usually* on the second reset, fgfs segfaults out. I did have it work 5-6 times in a row last night, but that was by far the exception (yes, I suppose I should have tried to figure out what was causing he segfault, but I was kind of into "just one more iteration and that will be what I need" mode :-) :-( ). That when reset didn't segfault I would frequenly switch from day to night also left me with some questions :-). I'm kind of lost at this point, this is the first time I have ever gotten a joystick to work at all under linix, but it was never really "important" :-) before. One can fly using mouse and keyboard, but that just doesn't work for me :-). I *really* like that particular stick (read *real* used to it :-) and have been fighting trying another one. Space here is an issue so it would be nice to get this one functional. I'm going to spend some time rooting around the net today and see if I can find some enlightenment on the whole joystick thing under linux. This stick/USB sticks in particular.
