To summarise the stuff below posted 15th. July 2007. I had no trouble
with CH Yoke and Pedals until around kernel 2.6.17 where they were seen
in dmesg, but the controls didn't work in js_demo, jstest, jscal or
FlightGear until they were replugged after a reboot. Until today, that
is, when a patch on the linux-usb list for a CH joystick was adapted for
the Yoke and Pedals.
I appied it to vanilla kernel 2.6.30-rc4-git1 and finally they work
without having to replug them. The patch has been sent to linux-usb and
should be in the mainline kernel soon and definitely in 2.6.30.
