Hi Pablo, >> For device 0079:0011 DragonRise Inc. arrows buttons are mapped to axes 3 >> and 4. >> For device 0e8f: 0002 GreenAsia Motion Inc. arrows buttons are mapped >> to axes 2 and 3 This sounds like the arrows are on a D-Pad and that the D-Pad is described as a 'HAT' in the HID descriptor, which is like a n-position dial with a NULL state. I have a Logitech game pad which does the same, the HID descriptor contains -- Logical Maximum (7), Physical Maximum (315), Report Size (4), Report Count (1), Unit (Degrees), Usage (Hat Switch), ; Hat switch (39h, dynamic value) Input (Variable, Null State), Unit, -- Linux converts these '8 buttons' to a 'vector' to the edge of a circle, hence the two extra axis. You can use an application from DigiMend (http://digimend.sourceforge.net/) to read the HID descriptor for your device. A possible work around (if you just want the use the joystick to play) is described here: http://hans.fugal.net/blog/2007/06/02/joystick-hat-in-x-plane-in-linux/ Cheers (and good luck), Simon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
