hmm. I have the 'evdev' module loaded, but there is nothing at /dev/input/event*
You need:
mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64 mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65 mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66 mknod /dev/input/event3 c 13 67 mknod /dev/input/event4 c 13 68 mknod /dev/input/event5 c 13 69 ...
thanks....I had the devices listed alright....but the permissions
weren't set. maybe someone else is having the same problem.doing "chmod +r /dev/input/event*" should do the trick.
now, HID works as expected.....but I only get a resolution from 0-255
on the joystick axis. Is that how it is supposed to be? I thought the resolution was much higher.best -august.

"Supposed to" might be the key word there. That value, AFAIK, depends
on the hardware. I have two joysticks: a Logitech Wingman, which
outputs 0-127, and a Saitek Force 3D, which outputs 0-4091. This is
also why I wrote the [autoscale] object which is used in the
[joystick], [tablet], and [mouse] objects. These objects always output
between 0 and 1, converting the output range of the device, to
resolution between 0 and 1. Then when you write a patch for one
joystick, it'll stick work with other joysticks.
