Bug Description

I recall my gamepad (a Thrustmaster Firestorm Power 3) working in Debian Sid right after plugging it in. In Dapper it doesn't until I modprobe this, and chmod that.

The version in Debian Sid that I'm using is 0.079-1, the scripts are entirely different in ubuntu, it's version currently being 079-0ubuntu2. I'm not quite sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, though since ths should be working, I would think of it as a bug.

Any fixes for this would be very much appreciated.

This confirms that you have the bug that "joydev" wasn't loaded if your device was already claimed as a human interface device. That has now been fixed, so the module should be loaded as normal.

Your supplied output also confirms that your joystick is detected correctly otherwise and /dev/input/js0 will be created for it.

The problem isn't that it isn't detected. The problem is that it doesn't work properly. I think it's actually a permissions issue. The buttons themselves work, but the directional pad and analog controllers do nothing. The only reason it was working as well as it was, was due to my own changes to the udev scripts. I still need to do the steps as shown in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106074&highlight=joystick
