Would have been nice to know that earlier, since I'd not have suggested any changes to the udev rules. However, that isn't a problem: I learnt a little more about the udev subsystem and your computer wasn't hurt. In that case I agree with your analysis. The problem has to be in the game or Wine. > In the next days, I will try to install another game under linux to > see if it is a problem of wine itself or of the game under wine. > However I suppose it is a problem of the game itself since I've tried > the game under windows xp and here the joystick axis are not > recognized. > Not necessarily. It might be an XP problem that Wine faithfully reproduces. Do you have a game or a joystick testing/calibration tool that can detect all the joystick functions under XP? If so, thats the best thing to install in Wine as a testing tool. If it works correctly under Wine then the problem is in your game and you'll need to talk to the game's authors about support for the extra functions on your joystick. I've seen this type of problem myself: I think you just have to live with it. I have a CH joystick (2-axis, throttle wheel, two buttons on the stick). MSFS used the throttle (though not the buttons IIRC) while Silent Flight Simulator didn't use either buttons or throttle. I didn't mind about the buttons since neither are shooters, but it would have been nice if SFS used the throttle wheel as an airbrake control. Martin
