Exactly the same problem described here, power up, replug the device.
I had to do this many years ago with the CH Yoke and Pedals for which I
submitted a patch to linux-usb to add the lines below, 0x00ff and 0x00f2
are the USB ID's.
It first happened at kernel 2.6.17-rc2-git5 and persisted until
2.6.30-rc4-git1
/usr/src/linux-3.2-rc6_2/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_CH_FLIGHT_SIM_YOKE 0x00ff
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_CH_PRO_PEDALS 0x00f2
/usr/src/linux-3.2-rc6_2/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
{ USB_VENDOR_ID_CH, USB_DEVICE_ID_CH_FLIGHT_SIM_YOKE,
HID_QUIRK_NOGET },
{ USB_VENDOR_ID_CH, USB_DEVICE_ID_CH_PRO_PEDALS, HID_QUIRK_NOGET },
A similar patch would be needed with reference to the Saitek.
If you build your own kernels you should be able to insert similar lines
in the files.
There would be no need to change or add the VENDOR_ID as it's already
defined.
Below are the the Saitek definitions in the latest linux-3.2-rc6 kernel.
/usr/src/linux-3.2-rc6_2/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
------------------------------------------------------------------
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_SAITEK 0x06a3
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_SAITEK_RUMBLEPAD 0xff17
/usr/src/linux-3.2-rc6_2/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c
------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ USB_VENDOR_ID_SAITEK, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAITEK_RUMBLEPAD,
HID_QUIRK_BADPAD },

Sid.
