Are you saying there is a 20% CPU usage even when the joystick interface
is not open? This should not happen (and this is not happening on my
laptop). The polling should happen only when a userspace app opens the
joystick interface (like running neverball).
So I'd tend to think it's more due to a misconfiguration of the system
(like xserver using the joystick interface as a pointer device) or it's
a bug in the way we set up the polling. Could you investigate and let me
know?
Marcin originally reported this to me.
Marcin, could you please check 'lsof' output to see whether the joystick
interface has been open by some application?
Thanks,
sorry for the delay, had a crunch time
here is the link for this lsof:

Best regards,
