i am trying to make EU3C Gamepad MegaPlayer USB working, failing to open it with [hid] - error: [hid] open /dev/input/event5 failed. [linuxevent] shows some values in type, code and value outputs, which change when i send [start<.

dmesg tells me : input: 3Axes 8Keys Game Pad as /class/input/input5 input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Gamepad [3Axes 8Keys Game Pad] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2 pd[9553]: segfault at bf570ff8 ip b7d26a8e sp bf570ffc error 6 in libc-2.7.so[b7cba000+155000]

in lsusb it appears as : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 12bd:d02a

calibrator works ok and shows that it is /dev/input/js0.

what else should i check ?

Are the permissions on your device file okay so that you can access it?

If you are in a hurry: I found that for gamepads the [joystick] external by J. Sarlo works flawlessly on Linux. hid introduced an annoying nameclash to [joystick] with the abstraction joystick.pd, so make sure you remove that from your path if you want to use J. Sarlo's work instead.
