I see a problem with the yoke and pedals in SuSE 10.1 where the controls do not work initially. I have to remove and replug them in order to get them to work in fgfs, js_demo or jstest. As they work as expected, I can assume it's the pro-*.xml files being used. Looking in /sys/bus/usb/ I can see references to the CH Yoke and Pedals. # less /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@usbdev2.6 N:bus/usb/002/006 M:189:133 # less /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@usbdev2.7 N:bus/usb/002/007 M:189:134 # lsusb Bus 002 Device 007: ID 068e:00f2 CH Products, Inc.
