Joystick Saitec ST30 detected as Wasp

In order to actually fix this, the most useful information would be the section of /proc/bus/usb/devices for your joystick, the output of evtest for the affected device (this program is confusingly duplicated in dvb-utils and lineakd and poorly documented: I recommend installing dvb-utils for Ubuntu or Xubuntu and lineakd for Kubuntu), and a screenshot showing the issue.

On the other hand, unless you are playing Search & Rescue, you probably want to use the jscal program to calibrate your joystick, as jscalibrator only affects this single game. Also, please try to confirm your strange axis behaviour with js_demo from the flightgear package (note that there is a bug that requires you to unplug and reattach the joystick after using js_demo and before playing any games). If you can replicate it separately, it might be a problem with the input system, rather than specific to jscalibrator.

Thank you for your fast reply. Since jscalibrator is only for one game, my "Binary package hint" was wrong. But I realized that I don't need calibration, because X Y and Z are precisly calibrated with this joystick.

So I don't want jscalibrator, but it has a nice GUI.

Long time no update so we are wondering if you still have this bug? Can you give us an answer please if it is working or not in a supported Ubuntu version? Thank you!
