I am running 8.1 with a Microsoft Sidewinder Pro USB joystick. It worked
fine for a while. Now, when I use it as a normal user (even a newly created
normal user) the buttons don't work properly. Using jscalibrator, almost all
my buttons, when pressed, show up as button no. 8. When I use it as root,
the buttons are all fine (i.e., when pressed button 1 shows in jscalibrator
as button 1, button 2 shows as button 2, etc.). As a normal user, button 1,
when pressed, shows as button 8 in my account, and button 6 in my kids'
accounts and in a new account I created just to try to figure out what's
going on. I've fiddled with the permissions and I've removed and recreated
the joystick device, but no matter what I do it works fine for root but not
for anyone else. Any ideas? Thanks.
