The devices Bus 004 Device 003: ID 068e:00ff CH Products, Inc. Flight Sim Yoke Bus 004 Device 002: ID 068e:00f2 CH Products, Inc. Flight Sim Pedals on my machine get recognized but they don't work. cat'ting the relevant /dev/input/js* devices reports some initial data, but no axis or button input on any of them produces any change. flightgear/fgjs/js_demo don't show any input either. Following the tip at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=587 by Alex Perry, I made the following patch that works perfectly on my system. A better approach would probably be a configure option if somebody does need that extra SET_IDLE call. I'm not x-posting to lkml since 2.6.8 is an ancient source (2.6.14 exists today), but since we only have 2.6.8 in debian archive as of today, I want it available for other Debian users that might want to solve the same problem. --- drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c.orig 2005-11-27 23:53:11.838499336 +0200 +++ drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c 2005-11-27 23:53:05.533457848 +0200 @@ -1309,9 +1309,14 @@ void hid_init_reports(struct hid_device * bugfree devices and will cause a worst-case extra delay of * 1ms for buggy ones. */ +#if 0 /* vassilii: disabled tipped by Alex Perry's report for an equivalent + * change of older (2001) source.
