I also have FutureMax Dance Mat. I think the main problem is with
Stepmania, however.

I've been using the following patch for Stepmania. It works most of the time.
    https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/pull/1745

Sometimes (after resuming from suspend and such) there are some intermittent 
failures to recognize the dance mat though.
I haven't quite managed to track the cause of those down. But the patch 
definitely works.

The reason that "vanilla" Stepmania doesn't work on Linux is because it
expects analog inputs.

Title:
  No input events for FutureMax Dance Mat

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
