Hello,
i have two USB joysticks (same model), both are correctly recognized by Linux Mandrake 10.1, their device is correctly created in /dev/input as js0 and js1.
Unfortunately only one of them works with xmame, i read the xmame help (man xmame) but i cannot find a place where it says how to make two joysticks work with it.
Anyone knows?

Thank you,
Luca

Perhaps it's a xorg.conf problem...
Hope this help.
