I have GreenAsia Gamepad (PSX somewhat clone) and it had the same problem.
I solved it the following way: 1.- open as root /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2.- Add at the begining of the file following lines: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" EndSection 3.- Save the file, and restart your system. Yes, better restart the system or gdm. Killing X with CRTL+ALT+Backspace doesn't read always the xorg.conf -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 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
