Logitech Attack 3 Joystick in RHEL6


I am trying to install the Logitech Attack 3 joystick in RHEL6 and I am not able to get readings from the joystick.

RHEL6.1
kernel version: 2.6.32

What i have done so far:

Installed the joystick driver for linux and modprobe joydev
My system registers that the joystick is connected at /dev/input/js0
I test the joystick with jstest and the buttons are off and the joystick are stuck at -32676
I test the joystick with fawkes to no avail also

Both jstest and fawkes recognize the joystick name and number of buttons and axes

Based on my research so far I believe I need the modules adi and ns558 but the only way I can find to obtain the modules is through rebuilding the kernel.

I am doing everything I can to avoid rebuilding the kernel. Are there any other options to get this joystick to work short of rebuilding the kernel?

1. Do not use Joystick on Oracle VirtualBox. I ran into problems reading from the /dev/input/js0 file.

2. Make sure you utilize a kmod-joydev rpm to patch the kernel.

3. Make your own joystick reader and translator.
