h.a.,
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.
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 ..
anyhints?

Should work fine.

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.

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.

rite, was/is all working finewith josef's joystick object.
theres one tiny issue remianing:
when starting + quitting pd with the joystuick pathc a few times the object starts to mix up the outlets. most axes dont come out at all and the buttons come out the right -2 and -3 outlets and dont give 0 or 1 but 0 or -32767
when i _keep having jstest /dev/input/js0 running all the time it seems to work better i.e. the mixup phenomenon does not appear.
cheers, hog
