Ahh, didn't know that. Thanks! Yes, that caused exactly the same message
(generic-usb: probe of 0003:06A3:0006.0001 failed with error -32).

Err ... that wasn't really meant as an ungrateful, defiant "bah, 2.6.29
will be crap!" kind of message, although it sounds quite like it. I really
thought that these would be my options for now. I consider your efforts
to make this broken device work already far more than I could expect,
and thought that this joystick wouldn't really deserve more love.
BTW: This js has worked for years, with dozens of kernels, so I didn't
assume that mine is in some way special. But I can't say the same of my
mobo's USB interface. This has made some problems about a year ago, and
one of the two inlets seems to be damaged. The other one has always worked
fine (with a 4-way hub), though. Could this cause the effect that we are
seeing here? In that case, committing the quirk to the kernel wouldn't
be justified.

Woohoo! This works. Thanks, a lot!

PS: I'm not exactly a "gamer". I need the nvidia-driver and joystick,
because I'm one of the http://www.flightgear.org/ developers. :-)
