just got a SAITEK P750 pc gamepad/joystick which i connect via USB. this thing got 12 buttons. jstest /dev/js0 on the console, when X is NOT running works very fine i.e. all the values are coming in with the correct identifiers.
as soon as i start X and (try with joystick object from ggee) i only get 3 or 4 distinct buttons, all other events are lost.
unfortunately also mambo.peabody seems to be down for an alternate joystick object.
Does jstest work under X then? If not, I doubt that another joystick object for PD will bring better results. I have my 8-button gamepad working okay under X/PD with ggee, so I think ggee is not the problem.
anyhow, it seems to me that X is more of the problem than pd, but docs on how to configure the joystick in XF86Config seems really sparse ..
What X version are you running and is there any joystick configuration in you XF86Config[-4]? If there is, try to remove all joystick stuff from the X configuration InputDevice section. The linux joystick modules alone should work under X and with PD, too.
bye,
