Ah, I see. Maybe I will recieve a reply later some days later.

I didn't ask at a FreeBSD list. I asked on FlightGear list because I
have this problem only wiht FlightGear. I tried with gl-117 and tuxkart,
both are working fine. Miscalibration was my first thought too, but as
far as I know these USB-Joystick thingies are not meant to be
calibrated. Additionally I just would not know how to achieve this as
for FreeBSD no calibrationtool exists that I know about.

I really mean "fgjs", that wasn't typo. I'm not running fgfs or fgjs
from CVS. It is selfcompiled but from the portscollection of FreeBSD.
Usually there are no debug options set, so I'm not able to give you a
backtrace.

As stated above I meant fgjs, this has a "--prop" option:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] fgjs --help
Usage:
  --help                        Show this help
  --prop                        Output property list
  --xml                         Output xml (default)
  --deadband <float>            Set deadband (for this program only, useful
                                for 'twitchy' joysticks)

no. At the moment I only have js_demo / js_test available. As mentioned
above, I used two other games to verify that my stick is working in
general.
