Thanks Mikko Perttunen, i applied the patch against tag v4.5 on the mainline-crack repo, including the Patches from Frank Praznik. And it works, evtest reports useable events (at least for the first device) and Stepmania can pick up and work with booth of my mats.
I attach the Patches from Frank Praznik for reference, as I can not find them online in an kernel repository yet. ** Patch added: "Patch 1 of 2 Duplicate ID" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1584475/+attachment/4702482/+files/0001-HID-sony-Compare-connection-types-when-checking-for-.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584475 Title: No input events for FutureMax Dance Mat Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my ubuntu booth of my FutureMax Dance Mats does not generate any input events. So they can not be used. The hardware is working, i verified this with a windows PC. The missing events were checked with cat /dev/input/eventX, evtest, xev. On ubuntu the device is set up (udevadm has it, dmesg has it, evtest sees it), module joydev is loaded but no input is recognized/ visible and /dev/input/eventX Expected behavior: Plug and Play with the usb Dance Mat Acutal behavior: No play possible as no input events appear and so the game can not use it.
