Public bug reported:
I use 64bit 12.04 LTS.
I have several USB game controllers connected to my computer for use
with multiple emulators, like qmc2 (mame), snes9x, dolphin-emu and
others.
When I start an emulator, it recognizes the USB controls properly.
I set the controls to my liking and everything works fine.
After turning off the computer and start the emuador again, the controls that
were configured, normally does not respond.
Accessing the configuration section controls in the emulator again, you can see
that there is a previous setting, but that is not correct. In the previous
configuration, the joystick was recognized for example such as Joystick 4, when
now is marked as Joystick 5.
I think the problem is because the system does not use any unique
identifier for the controllers and remember it (imagine every joystick
itself will have some sort of unique identifier).
The error does not always happen, as I imagine it depends on the order
in which the system starts the devices and names it at every startup. If
this order coincides works, if not, does not works.
I think you are doing something similar to the configuration of
monitors, for the system to remember each monitor and save the
configuration independently of each.
