Some more investigation seems to point at the new evdev driver as the culprit. I attempted to use a USB gamepad as an HID device, and had the same result, and also the interesting behaviour that the joystick was controlling my mouse cursor. This led me to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/274203
After using the FDI workaround listed in this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/274203/comments/78, I can now access the gamepad as an HID device in chuck like before. So it seems that evdev is perhaps a bit zealous in locking the device and prevents other user-land applications from receiving the HID messages directly. -- HID input not working after upgrade to Ibex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
