Hi, * Alan Stern -- Tuesday 17 March 2009: > You don't have to recompile. Just do this: > > cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid > echo -n 1-3.3:1.0 >unbind ; echo -n 1-3.3:1.0 >bind 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). * Melchior FRANZ -- Tuesday 17 March 2009: > > Thanks. No, it didn't do the trick.

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. > There are other approaches. You can try this patch. Woohoo! This works. Thanks, a lot! m. 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. :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
