I have been using them for some years now. The only problem I've had
over several kernel 2.6 versions and for over year - After boot up, the
buttons and controls do not work.
To get them working, I have to unplug them and reinsert them, then
everything works OK. This has been the same on both x86 and x86_64
architectures, right up to the latest AM2 64x2 box and openSuSE 10.3 Alpha5.
I reported the problem to the USB development group early on, but got no
reply. It seems there is some race condition that prevents them being
properly being initialised. I also did not find out which kernel the
problem appeared with, it seemed to have been when they changed the
input subsystem layer, 2.6.17-ish (???).
js_demo and jstest lists them all, but they are inoperative - vaulues
being static with control movements.
