The RUMBLEPAD is the only Saitek device supported currently. In order to get support for the devices you have into the kernel you can email the lines from "lsusb" output to the linux-usb mailing list so they can add them. /usr/src/linux-3.2-rc7/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h ------------------------------------------------------------------ #define USB_VENDOR_ID_SAITEK 0x06a3 #define USB_DEVICE_ID_SAITEK_RUMBLEPAD 0xff17 /usr/src/linux-3.2-rc7/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ { USB_VENDOR_ID_SAITEK, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAITEK_RUMBLEPAD, HID_QUIRK_BADPAD }, Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
