I have the CH Yoke & Pedals in use with Flightgear for some years now and they are first rate. The only problem I and others have reported is that starting with a particular 2.6 Linux kernel, the controls do not work after a boot up. The work around is to replug them once the system is up - no big deal. I have reported the problem to the USB developers since back in early 2005, but the problem is still there. It's when they changed the input layer. My guess is that there isn't sufficient time given to detecting the CH stuff when the system is booted, everything else USB works just fine from boot up.
