Full description: Psx parallel joystick after upgrading the kernel from version 2.6.33 to 2.6.34 ceased to respond to pressing. No error messages are not displayed in reports. Rolling back the kernel returns the joystick to work. Joystick collected under the scheme from the kernel documentation. The report in dmesg, however, remains the same: input: PSX controller as /devices/virtual/input/input4 To start the module gamecon I use this command: # modprobe gamecon map=0,7 psx_delay=3 To reproduce this error enough to do the following: 1. # modprobe gamecon map=0,7 psx_delay=3 2. $ cat /dev/input/js0 3. Output of cat: ����������������������������� ��� ��� ������������������������ This conclusion does not change when I click on any button.

Could you please try reverting the following commits and tell me which one broke your device: 5bc923c Input: gamecon - fix off by one range check a1e1274 Input: gamecon - use pr_err() and friends af930d6 Input: gamecon - constify some of the setup structures 0995174 Input: gamecon - simplify pad type handling 315543f Input: gamecon - simplify coordinate calculation for PSX d38fcb9 Input: gamecon - fix some formatting issues Thanks!
Thank you for your reply! Joystick stops working after applying the patch "simplify pad type handling".
Created attachment 27163 [details] Reference correct pad in PSX mode Thanks for determining the culprit Eugene. Could you please try this patch and let me know if it fixes the issue.
Thanks for the patch! It completely fixes the problem. Everything work like a charm!
