Perplexing Joystick Problem
I have a new Dell Studio XPS and need help diagnosing a problem with a CH Figterstick USB. In windoz it is functioning correctly, so its not a hardware issue. Running F11 64bit and 32bit the stick is recognized but no movement is detected. It shows up in the KDE joystick tool but doesnt't move. Dmesg reports it and all that stuff like /dev/input/js0 are there, but cat shows no feed back, just a few lines of those characters. If I hold the joystick off center in any direction while plugging it in, thats where it is in KDE tool when I run it, but will not move. Interestingly enough it exibits the same behavior in Mandriva 2009.1 except, if I run the Mandriva hardware tool harddrake2 to look at peripherals and stuff, while the stick is plugged in, it starts working, and I can use it normally. Please help me diagnose this problem, I only want to run one OS, and I have been using Fedora for a long time on various equipment, and want to keep it that way.
xps 1340 P8600,4 gig ram, nvidia geforce 256mb
