After doing some digging with regards to my original problem (PSX Dual Pad adapter not functioning) I have noticed a couple of things.

1. Even though it's a DUAL Adapter, only ONE device node, /dev/input/js0 is created. No matter how many "joysticks" I plug in i.e. 0, 1 or 2.

2. After turning on the usb debugging, I found that upon plugging in the adapter, two report_id's are registered (0 and 1), however when running
cat /dev/input/js0 I get lots of the messages like this:


Dec 6 08:29:04 crypt kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: report (size 7) (numbered) Dec 6 08:29:04 crypt kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: report 64 (size 6) = 02 08 02 40 20 84 Dec 6 08:29:04 crypt kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: undefined report_id
64 received

Oh, and there's the initial descriptor read error -32 upon pluggin in the device.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

Hi
I am connecting the Playstation controller via a USB adapter. This adapter
supports 2 controllers (players 1 and 2). Controller is detected, and
modules are loaded, however when I do cat /dev/input/js0 , and press buttons
on the controller, nothing is printed on the screen. I have tried switching
digital/analog controller modes with no luck.

I am running Slackware 10.1 with 2.6.14.3 kernel (doesnt work in 2.6.8,
2.6.11 either).
I should mentioned that the same joystick, plugged into the same USB port,
works fine in Windows XP.

There is one error(?) being returned: string descriptor 0 read error: -32. I
am not sure if it's the culprit as I've seen some people say this can be
ignored. Either way, does anybody know how I can get the controller to work?

Thanks

I am attaching output of several commands.
