FreeBSD 6.1
FlightGear 0.9.10 build from ports
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

FlightGear automatically uses the FreeBSD /dev/uhid0 as the joystick,
which just plain will not work, no discussion there. Most notably
js_demo reports my Joystick as number 2 and almost all the axes are
screwed up. If I run js_demo as a normal user it names the stick "uhid0"
instead of "Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D" which name does show up when
run as root. I've tried everything as root and as a normal user, but the
name is the only noticeable difference.

Now I discovered the linux-js port which provides me with
/dev/input/js0, jstest and jscal.

jstest and jscal both work perfectly when guided to /dev/input/js0 and
both show my joystick to be functioning as it should, including the name
when run as a normal user.

The problem is that flightGear sticks with /dev/uhid0, js_demo clearly
shows this, and I saw a warning from fgfs that leads to the same
conclusion. I've tried some commandline options, but nothing worked.

As a side note: fgjs segfaults each and every time I tried to run it so far.

How can I force FlightGear to use /dev/input/js0?

I searched for an option at compile-time, but all the documentation I've
read regarding joysticks assumes an already compiled fgfs. I've built
FlightGear manually in the past, so if needed I could recompile
FlighGear with some option.
