mahen, this bug has been closed for quite a while. The problem that bug was addressing has been solved, and reporting it here will have zero chance to attract the attention of the right developers. Most joystick don't crash X anymore, and aren't detected as mouse either. If your joystick does (most probably it doesn't crash X, it's just it's detected as a mouse by default, which it shouldn't), could you please open a new bug against xserver-xorg-input-evdev, using preferably the command : ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-evdev while your joystick is connected, and adding a description of your symptoms + name of your joystick? It should attach the relevant information, then a developper involved in that package can ask you for more input if necessary. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm having the problem in fully-updated Intrepid 32-bit with a USB Logitech Precision (wired) gamepad. In my case, the gamepad controls the mouse cursor with no adverse effects, and some buttons function as left/right/middle mouse clicks. It also worked in Linux-native games I've tried (need to try emulators), but the cursor flew around the screen clicking in tandem with my game movements, causing various windows, menus, or desktops to appear. (Given I got the Precision on super we're-desperate-to-dump-these clearance at Target, I guess this is a you get what you pay for situation... ;) Tomorrow I'll go through the various recommended steps to see if it helps (aside from the one that might harm laptops), and post my results then...

I'm trying to use a Logitech CyberMan 2 as an input controller for GIMP and as a joystick in FPS games. In case you're not familiar with this Logitech joystick, it connects to the game port and uses the adi module The Cyberman 2 is recognised correctly, however none of the buttons work and the controller moves the cursor. SuperTux does recognise that there is a joystick attached, however it does not respond to the CyberMan 2. Any attempts to reconfigure the key assignments results in the mouse cursor jumping to the centre of the screen and button presses are not registered.

[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
Let's get a few facts straight: I was confused about all the reports regarding joysticks not working like they were before. What I missed was that X didn't use them by default, and shouldnt. Adding them to the fdi file on -joystick was only done to let your devices to work without crashing the server. Boohoo. Now I realize (thanks to Emmet) that what really has been happening all along is that evdev-driver grabs the device, which makes it impossible to use /dev/input/js*. This is something that looks unlikely to be fixed in Intrepid anymore, since it's unclear how to fix it most efficiently. The kernel should report that the device is a joystick, but HAL needs to be aware of that and not list the device as input.mouse (and/or .keyboard). Then the fdi file for -joystick is a trivial one and would match all joysticks. The workaround for you guys is to copy the fdi-file from joystick to /etc/hal/fdi/policy, and edit it to not load a driver for your device (you can match using the product id of your device if not listed already, see 'lshal'). Then uninstall -joystick (dunno if it's needed, maybe), restart hal X.

Now, back to the bug reports: X crashing has been fixed, that's why the bug it marked as Fixed.

Re: [Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
I'm really curious why the new xorg would be considered if it broke joysticks. Not being able to use joysticks is a HUGE problem. For most of us, the work arounds are fine. (They don't work for me though). Since I'm sure we're all comfortable getting under Ubuntu's hood, we wouldn't have a problem with any work around that is invented. However, joysticks not working out of the box when Intrepid comes out will not be acceptable. Joe User doesn't know how to edit the xorg.conf file to get his joystick working, and he shouldn't have to. Joysticks have worked in every Ubuntu release and should still. Gaming is probably one of if not the major shortcomings of Linux keeping it from mainstream use, and by the most popular Linux distribution in the world not being able to use joysticks properly is going to hurt the reputation of Linux even more. Is there any way to force the old joystick driver for all joysticks? Please, whatever we can do to make joysticks work just like they did in Hardy would be great. I'll help with whatever is needed. I'll test whatever I need to and I devote as much time to this as you need, let's please not let a huge bug like this remain in the final Intrepid release. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
Loïc: no need to provide the lshal information anymore, the fdi file in -joystick won't be updated, and for Jaunty there is no need to list every model there is to use the driver, since hopefully by then the kernel/hal will know when the input device is a joystick (not true atm). If you use the AutoAddDevices -trick, you'll also disable input-hotplug completely (for mice keyboards etc). That is not recommended. Like I said, just put a file like this in /etc/hal/fdi/policy and you should be able to use the joystick in games like before: --- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=info.product contains=PRODUCT ID OF YOUR JOYSTICK merge key=input.x11_driver type=string/merge /match /device /deviceinfo --- and replace the PRODUCT.. stuff with the name of the device, use lshal or lsinput to find it out. Note that the x11_driver is empty. It means that evdev (or any other driver for that matter) will not use the device. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
First off, I agree with Jeremy on this matter. I have been somewhat appalled at the lack of consideration for the end user on this beta and release prep. Although I am tremendously impressed with the majority of functionality that has been added to Intrepid with KDE4 and generally better hot plug support. However, not supporting a feature that has been around for ages is disappointing and even though I know how to fix it (patch it temporarily that is). What will my friends say when I go to plug in a joystick that they offer me to use and I have to tell them just wait a minute while I manually fix this to work... Not impressed I'm sure. Ranting aside, I also have this problem and I fixed it (temporarily patched it) by the method mentioned by Ari Mustonen above. I just had to look at the output of the command lshal at the console search for input.mouse and find my joystick's name nearby (I think case matters here) and replace the name in the attachment he gave with mine and put it in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty as he instructed. It worked for me and I use a Gravis GamePad Pro USB. I haven't tried Timo Aaltonen's workaround, since I just found out about this last night. I would also attach an lshal output, but I think the point is over now and I would have to undo the fix to get the right output anyways. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Timo, it's a bit late. After reading on both the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list and on launchpad that you'd like users to file this information, I've spend a whole day writing the documentation, then emailing mailing lists/forums. I also asked you personally one week ago, on private email, on the ubuntu-devel-discuss and in this thread - you can't have possibly missed it, since you answered this bug after my message. I appreciate the work you did for wacom support in Feisty (and the rest), but, to remain polite, this is a waste. At least with users providing lshal output we can support them by providing them an fdi file (if your method works), since Ubuntu doesn't want to do it. Jeremy LaCroix, I can share your feelings. However, since I've been part of the Ubuntu community (4.10) each release have seen the developer (as silently as they could) drop support for some relatively big category of hardware / users. In that case people have reacted like you (I did at first, and for messes more serious than joysticks), but in the end it doesn't help, because the decision has already been taken (and yes, we users also offered our help and time to see those bug fixed, usually far earlier in the development cycle). Basically, either you're at UDS and can program the features yourself, or you just hope it will be fixed in less than 3 or 4 releases. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
Mpcd, that work around works but causes another issue. If I add that to my xorg.conf, and then boot without a joystick attached, the mouse stops working correctly. This is fine for my desktop because I don't mind keeping the joystick attached, but this is not okay for my laptop which I don't attach the joystick unless needed. Even though there are probably work arounds, all joysticks need to work properly out of the box just as they used to.

[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
Thanks for the update. I tried it with different joysticks, and they don't crash the X server anymore. However, there's 3 side effect (one is normal): - applications doesn't recognise joystick input anymore (tested with Frozen-Bubble), that's normal since everybody has to send lshal output for their joystick, and these output need to be processed; - the joysticks aren't hot-pluggable anymore. One need to restart X in order for them to be recognised by X (where they move the mice cursor like a joystick would; - the Dual Shock 3 problem is more serious - in order for it to be recognised, the middle P (Playstation) joystick button needs to be pressed (restarting X has no effect, on the other hand by pressing this button it can be hotplugged). Afterwards, both the DS3 and the mouse behave like joysticks (and the mouse is thus useless. By acting like a joystick, I mean the mouse cursor comes back to the middle of the screen all the time, and moving the mouse jerks the cursor left, right, up or down before it quickly returns to central position (however the jerk is analog, since it can be controlled by moving the DS3 analog pad slowly).

Re: [Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
I ran all of the updates, and I'm happy to say that neither of my two game pads crash X anymore. However, both of them (Logitech Dual Action Thrustmaster Firestorm) move the mouse cursor with either the D-Pad or the Analog stick. The Logitech Dual Action has an analog stick and when you press it in any direction, it moves the mouse cursor. The D-Pad on this controller doesn't move the mouse cursor, but doesn't work in any game either. With the Thrustmaster Firestorm, the D-Pad moves the mouse cursor (it doesn't have an analog stick) but the controller works fine in ZSNES but the D-Pad doesn't function at all in MAME. So it looks like this bug is NOT fixed, however we're more than 50% there so I'm very thankful for that. The crashing appears to be fixed (at least for me) but the D-Pad or Analog stick still moves the mouse cursor. I understand some people like that, but I think it should be off by default.

So I guessed pDev might have something interesting, and indeed, it does: (gdb) print pDev-key $2 = (KeyClassPtr) 0x0 (gdb) print *pDev-key Cannot access memory at address 0x0 So the line KeySym *map = pDev-key-curKeySyms.map; will likely cause the segfault. Maybe a test for pDev-key = 0x0 should be added and GetKeyboardValuatorEvents should return if that test is true? Attached is the new stacktrace with the full pDev content. ** Attachment added: X-pDev http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18558840/X-pDev -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I marked bugs 273364 and 272421 a duplicate of this bug, since this seems to have the most info. Also, I reported individual bugs for each of the joysticks I have that's not working, as requested by Timo. Please follow through on that with your individual joysticks, and most here so anyone that has the same joystick can confirm the bug report.

oh, and the reason why I'm asking you to file bugs about your non-
working joysticks is because that needs to be done anyway. The default
input-driver ('evdev') doesn't support joysticks that well, and this bug
is dedicated to make it work so it at least doesn't crash..

I've tried to reproduce this with my joysticks, without the 'joystick' driver installed. Here evdev refused to use the devices, so I can't get a backtrace from it. Someone else should do that then :) Ari, you got the previous backtrace.. can you get a new one? First make sure that you don't have 'xserver-xorg-input-joystick' installed to let evdev grab the device. ps. this is not a bug in the joystick driver, since it's not used when it crashes.. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-joystick (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
I need a little help understanding this. Every joystick I throw at Intrepid crashes X, so I don't see how the original bug is fixed. We could make a new bug report for each joystick if that's what you really want, but that would be quite a few bug reports since I have yet to find a joystick that does work in Intrepid. In Hardy, all my joysticks worked flawlessly. A regression happened somewhere that doesn't allow me to use any joystick whatsoever in Intrepid. If I use StR34k's xorg.conf the problem is fixed, however with that xorg.conf if I boot without a joystick the mouse stops working properly. I'll start posting bug reports for individual joysticks if you want, but I just don't see how that would make a difference when all joysticks don't work. I would rather just try to help find where the regression is and help you fix it so all joysticks work, not just the ones we file bug reports for. They worked fine in Hardy so it shouldn't be too hard to track down. I apologize if I'm not understanding properly. Timo Aaltonen wrote: I'd like to have a new gdb stacktrace from the crash.

I installed xserver-xorg-input-joystick and it fixed the problem with the joystick crashing X and I can now play my games. However, two issues remain: 1.) The gamepad still controls the mouse. This should not be by default. 2.) Joysticks and gamepads should work out of the box in Ubuntu.

I confirm this bug on intrepid beta (KUbuntu). But I add that my joystick is not really stable: I mean that the x/y value are constantly changing even when I do not touch it.

[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
Okay, with the help of my room mate on this problem, we have come up with a temporary work around. The problem seems to be with Xorg. Hal seems to detect the joystick properly, and passes the device on to Xorg. Everybody is happy, until Xorg wrongly configures the joystick as a mouse. The fix is to force X NOT to auto configure any devices, and manually configure the joystick in your Xorg. However the result of this, has been that I have lost functionality on my media keys on my keyboard. not too big a deal to me, since I can reach the volume on my speakers easily. ;) So anyway, here comes the work around: 1. install the xserver joystick input driver: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-joystick 2. Manually edit the xorg.conf to remove auto detection, setup a device for the joystick and include it in the server layout. * see attached xorg.conf 3. Restart x and be happy. ;) ** Attachment added: This is the edited version of my xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18258707/xorg.conf -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Installing the newest xserver-xorg-input-joystick package fixes the crash for me, but the fix is incorrect since the problem remains if you don't have the package installed (i.e. if you want to use the joystick for gaming purposes, not as a pointer device). ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-joystick (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Another me too. Also running intrepid amd64, the joypad is a Saitek P880. ** Attachment added: lshal.txt.gz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18240885/lshal.txt.gz -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This also affects me, I am running intrepid amd64 and the joystick that is crashing it is a ps3 rock band drum kit. It does not instantly crash X, but rather upon hitting one of the pads, I can quickly and easily restart X! This is a regression from 8.04 and the version of X therein, as I know that this 'joystick' was completely functional in that environment. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same here, I can confirm the Siatek p880, and the Logitech Rumble pad 2.

[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
This bug affects my MadCatz controller. I looked under the KDE Joystick option in KDE's system settings. The joypad is detected correctly but does not show any movement when you move the analog(ue) sticks . I daren't press any button on the joypad knowing it will crash X! I am using 64-bit Intrepid as well. It's annoying because I can no longer play my games on my computer which require the joypad to move the character. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem and the same configuration like Tom! The workaround didn't help in my case. ** Attachment added: xorg.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18155843/xorg.log -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 274203] Re: Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X
I think it has to do something with xorg.conf. In the new version of Xorg, the file isn't read anymore. Something was told about it in the new version. Now, Hardy had this problem too, when you modified xorg.conf for joystick-input. By default the joystick is enabled, but for using it as input-device for the cursor. If all devices are detected without xorg.conf, than the system tries to use the joystick for the cursor. That's new in xorg! In Hardy, the problem was solved recompiling xserver-input-joystick from the source code. I tried this too, but it didn't work! Maybe it's a glue! -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm experiencing this as well and decided to poke the bug a bit.
