Greetings,

I am encountering the issue described in this thread[1], using a gamepad 
identified as "DragonRise" with USB ID 0079:0011.

The joypad works as intended except for the D-pad: up and down are detected in 
jstest (though misinterpreted: the input graph shows the points in the left 
up/down corners instead of the center), the left and right buttons are 
completely ignored.

Running 'input-events' shows events 0/127 and 255/127 on up and down 
respectively, nothing at all on left and right.

I was able to identify that the misbehaviour was caused by this commit[2] on 
the kernel source tree. To determine this I have rebuilt the Debian kernel 
using hid-dr.c from the previous commit[3] and loaded hid-dr.ko manually, with 
which the gamepad worked as intended. I have replaced the file again with the 
one from the breaking commit iself ([2]) and the behaviour was again broken.

Furthermore, to confirm that that was the breaking commit, I have commented 
line 315 (the input mapping one in the struct) from the current Debian source 
tree and rebuilt it, the joypad works as it should.

Regards,
Alessandro

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
