I'm also running kernel 2.6.9 with no problems (Red Hat before, gentoo now), but with the EMS USB + PS2 pads. The kernel seems to at least see your device, and it shows a sane number of buttons, so that's a start. What does "ls -l /dev/js0" show? I'm using udev, and my device shows up like this, $ ls -l /dev/input/js0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 0 Sep 24 22:22 /dev/input/js0 -Jamie p.s. I love the dance games, but I also imagine that dance pads could make a very interesting control/input device for live music!
