Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: flightgear
When the Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse is plugged in, fgfs (flightgear) and
js_demo (joystick test programm) both stop with segmentation faults.
This is experienced on Ubuntu 8.04 and Flightgear 1.0.0, Plib 1.8.4
Workarounds:
#1 unplug your Sidewinder Mouse, fgfs and js_demo work without segfault
#2 In /dev/input there is a joystick entry for my Mouse (dev/input/js0
on my system - checked with cat dev/input/js0 - some mouse buttons are
detected as joystick buttons). When the entry is deleted (root only)
fgfs and js_demo work just fine without segfaulting and the mouse is
still operating fine. (After you unplug and replug your mouse, the
dev/input/ entry will be recreated.)
(Problem should be probably related to Plib)
