Ive been googleing trying to find what USB oysticks are, and are not supported by Linux 2.6.
and i have founf no information at all.
which leads me to believe that either support is excelent, and all joysticks will work thanks o some kind of joysttick protocol i am un-familiar with.
OR
Usb joystick support is awfull.
or even more scary, a dreadfull combination of the 2 ( the whole hardware modems vs software modems issue )
Im considering the following 2 to play FlightGear (floghtGear.org) flight simulator.

The local shop is great for convinience and price, but utterly useless for technical questions..
(once when buying a chep-o-stick mp3 player, i asked it it worked under the standard usb mass storage protocol... they didnt know...
well, will it work on linux.. they said maybe, but most likely not.
started spewing some rubbish about voiding the warrenty using it with an OS other than what the mp3 player listed.
they refsed to let me read the back of the packageing for a mention of linux, they refused to look themselves. (they were not busy, the shop was empty)
anyways, asfter i decided to risk it, and buy the thing, on the back, minimum system requirements wre listed as "MacOS8 Win98 Linux-2.0"
lol.. many of my posts seem to trail off into rants lately, sorry.
back on topic....
Is there a USB-hid compatability list anywhere i can read ?
if i decide to "risk it" (no refunds) what are my chances of the 2 joysticks working ?
