Yes, don't do this! Whatever your problem is, I would be *very* surprised if it is hardware-related. (It is not impossible, the weak point of the X45 are the bad cables, I had to fix some broken wires after years of use. To test the hardware, ask a friend with Win or Linux O/S to testcalibrate your stick). I am using my X45 together with Simpad pedals for many years. First with WinXP, since last year with OpenSuse 10.1/10.2 Linux. Worked out of the box without any problem (only that I released the center spring with small cable fixer). With WinXP I had to calibrate the USB joystick once a year, with Linux I have to do it *every* new session :-(. It would be interesting to see the output of your js_demo. Just for fun I plugged two different joysticks into my USB ports to get my X45 as Joystick 1. (BTW: JS.0 not calibrated, JS.1 = X45 calibrated). You also must have any "Joystick 0" if your X45 shows up as Joystick 1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/FlightGear/bin> ./js_demo Joystick test program. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joystick 0: "HID 0583:2032" Joystick 1: "Saitek Saitek X45" Joystick 2 not detected Joystick 3 not detected Joystick 4 not detected Joystick 5 not detected Joystick 6 not detected Joystick 7 not detected +--------------------JS.0----------------------+--------------------JS.1----------------------+ | Btns Ax:0 Ax:1 Ax:2 Ax:3 | Btns Ax:0 Ax:1 Ax:2 Ax:3 Ax:4 Ax:5 Ax:6 Ax:7 | +----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | 0000 -0.9 -0.8 +0.1 -1.0 . . . . | 1200 -0.0 +0.0 +0.0 +0.0 +0.0 -1.0 +0.0 +0.0 | Very interesting! When I started FlightGear with these 2 joysticks connected *both* are plugged to the *same* axes. With Joystick.0 (CH Flightstick) untouched my Joystick.1 (X45) worked pretty fine but if I made some artificial noise with Joystick.0 I got out of control with the aircraft as this interfered. So you might have anything connected as Joystick.0 what is disturbing your Joystick.1 ???? Just a thought - what makes me unsure is that js_demo works here fine with two joysticks connected, both X and Y axis has values of -1 to +1 (after Linux calibration, as I mentioned every new session requiered :-/ ). In your case js_demo shows uncalibrated values for these axes, so for me it seems more a calibration problem (calibration value storage problem???) of your O/S. This all just as a feedback as I am very satisfied with my X45, I can't count the hours it worked fine here the last years.
