I recall from long ago that there was a special driver (or was it
special driver options) you needed to get the analog ch products
yoke/pedals to work in all their full glory. You might try grepping
through the kernel source/documentation tree to see if anything
interesting turns up.

Well James, I'm not sure if I can be much help, but I've had some JS
problems as well. I running SuSE9.2 and am using an original analog
CH Products "FlightStick" (circa 198x) on my SoundBlaster's gameport.
It should be a three axis stick, the third being throttle control, but
the system only recognizes two axis (x & y) and the two buttons.
(I'll upgrade my JS system to something more current later.)
Now in SuSE the system config utility is called YaST (Software,
Hardware, etc...) and it recognizes the stick fine. But when I ran
the fgjs program, which seemd to work fine, I had little or no JS
control in FG afterwards, and the YaSTt test utility didn't work well
either, although it still recognized that the JS was present. I found
that if I go back into YaST and specify no JS (none), and apply that
value, and then go back and then specify "generic anolog" that FG
again recognized, or I should say, functioned correctly (minus the
throttle control), with the JS.
The question to you is: do you have any other programs (even system
utils) that recognize your JS under Linux? If so, then maybe there's
something with the fgjs utility that is messing with things on the
system layer much like what I've experienced, and all you have to do
is something similiar to my solution, but with your distro's
utilities. At which point see if FG works with it without running the
fgjs program.

Hi,
I am running Mepis 3.3 linux and
installed FlightGear

apt-get. The installed was successfull
and I can start
the

The problem I am having is with the Ms
SideWinder
Feedback
joystick. It
is recognized in linux. "dmesg" lists
the following:
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick
[Microsoft SideWinder

The devices under control center sees
the joystick as
follows:

(/dev/js0)
All the buttons and axis are
recognized and decoded in
the tool.
"lsusb" shows the following:

But, fgjs shows:
Found 0 joystick(s)
Can't find any joysticks ...
and js_demo shows:
Joystick test program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joystick 0 not detected
Joystick 1 not detected
Joystick 2 not detected
Joystick 3 not detected
Joystick 4 not detected
Joystick 5 not detected
Joystick 6 not detected
Joystick 7 not detected
I'm not sure what to do about this.
