I have a *similar* problem with my usb-joystick, not the same. To get it recognized I had to do a "trick" - assign a (any) usb-device (I used a Logitech Gamepad USB) to my onboard soundcard (gameport) with YAST. Then my "HID 0583:2032 (/dev/input/js0)" joystick gets recognized by the KDE "Kontrollzentrum" (= controll-center), can be calibrated there and works fine. Although it is then present after every reboot of the PC (without that described un-/replugging) the calibration values are lost and I have to calibrate it everytime I have a new PC startup. And I had it lost once I did a very long flight - the device got "uncalibrated" and the airplane crashed. I already made a bug-report to the KDE people, they might be the wrong ones if it is a SUSE system problem. Ok, I have to look for a SUSE bug-report then, as you possibly did already. Regards Georg @Craig: I am still converting some of the FGTools functions and was wrong when I thought this would be a question of *hours*. This is true for 95% of the code. But for the rest it is a question of *days* for a Linux n00b. To find out how to access the users home directory automatically (to read the "UFO-export-XML-file" by FGTools and let it do all that automated things) when the Lazarus functions cannot use the '~' sign was a real task. Now I learned to read the environment-variable "HOME" by a special function. So there is a big delay! But work goes on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
