The inputattach source in Debian (shipped in the joystick package as you noticed) is newer than that shipped in Ubuntu; the Debian version probably fixes all the bugs filed against inputattach in Ubuntu apart from LP#299999.
You might want to wait a couple of days before continuing on this, a new version of the package is forthcoming in Debian with a fix for a kernel bug (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/8385). -- Please sync joystick 20051019-8 (universe) from Debian unstable (main). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402083 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
