USB Logitech Wingman Extreme joystick not recognized


Hello again, /dev fans!

Today I have a USB Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro Attack that doesn't show up in /dev nor lsusb. I recompiled my kernel just to get USB debugging put into the logs, and the ONLY mention I get of this device is from /var/log/kern.log:

Code:
Jul  9 20:38:45 serenity kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3
(my system's hostname once was serenity, but when I had a mainboard failure and transferred the drive, I renamed it, but for some reason that stuck)


I just now tried other available ports:
Code:
Jul  9 21:40:26 serenity kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4
Jul  9 21:40:56 serenity kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
If I unplug and/or replug, I get nothing unless it's on a port it hasn't been on yet, and that's when I get the same "unable to enumerate" message. I've tried compiling it both as a module as well as built-in, and no joy either way.

All of the above is with the joystick connected. The 1d6b:0002 is not the stick. I think it's one of the system's root hubs.

As you can see in the last output above, currently, I have the ADI driver compiled into the kernel, which I believe is the one my stick uses, as well as INPUT_JOYSTICK and INPUT_JOYDEV. I believe my stick may actually fall under JOYSTICK_ANALOG, which is why it's a module (and it IS loaded). WARRIOR was an experiment, and it didn't work either (being a wingman also, I was hoping they might be compat).

I'm at a loss. I've had the stick working before, in an earlier kernel on a 32-bit AthlonXP 1600+. Now, I'm on an Athlon64 3000+ running what very recently was the lates stable kernel. I doubt that should make much of a difference, though.

I appreciate any help anyone is willing to provide.

Thanks in advance!

I had a similar weird USB issue once.. turns out plugging the device into a powered hub solved the issue. Too bad the engineers hadn't relayed that info to that companies tech support department before I sent all their UPS's back.. Had something to do with the electrical current output of the USB port on the PC not being high enough due to the USB chipset they used, so it would communicate properly with the device I was connecting. Tech support tried to tell me it was a Linux issue, but since it didn't work in Windows either on identical hardware I knew they were mistaken.

The engineering department did acknowledge it was a known hardware issue and the powered USB hub would resolve it. could give it a shot since you did change the motherboard. If you have such a hub laying around it would be a free test that would take only a minute to try..

No, I do not have one of those... I never had enough USB devices to need one.

However, if power is all it needs... I'm sure I can rig something up. Worst case, I'll drag a USB PCI card out of my mother's old machine (she doesn't use it any more).


Do you by chance remember anything about that board or the chipset it used? Mine is an nForce3...

I feel like an idiot... I have OHCI, not UHCI. I had UHCI compiled. EHCI, USB2.0, still worked, but maybe my stick is a 1.1 device and is incompatible with EHCI... Might explain it. I'm recompiling *one* *last* *time* to see if it helps...

SOLVED! Must use OHCI on nVidia chips! /dev/input/js0 now shows up AND jstest reads it perfect.


Powered USB wasn't the answer, but it is what got me thinking! Thanks!
