I first saw the problem with opensuse 10.1Beta3. With 2.6.16 and up to 2.6.17-rc6 the Yoke and Pedals are detected, but none of the controls work after a power on or reboot. I unplug and replug the Yoke and Pedals, then all controls work. Running SuSE 10.1 with FlightGear-0.9.10 currently. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
