This is a feature, not a bug. The idea is to let people play pinball with their laptops. I have always hated the idea, but I didn't write the drivers which make it possible. Certainly it would be nice to have a module parameter to at least give the users an option to disable this feature. Moving to the right component, as this has nothing to do with hardware monitoring. Meanwhile, just use /dev/input/js1, I fail to see why it would be a problem. (In reply to comment #1) > This is a feature, not a bug. The idea is to let people play pinball with > their > laptops.

Thanks for you fast reply. I tried to use /dev/input/js1 . The problem is that jstest-gtk doesn't detect the js1. Just the accelerometer, so I can't calibrate the joystick. Anyway, I will try to find a workaround, but really find it weird. I share your opinion about this idea. Thanks If jstest-gtk can't deal with two joysticks being connected, that's a bug in jstest-gtk, which should be reported to the jstest-gtk maintainer. |
