Hi!
SUMMARY: It seems that neither 2.4 or 2.6 kernels support usb-joysticks
from CH products ('yoke' and 'pedals', sold separately). The patch,
http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-users/2002-November/002571.html
has been available for 3 years but for some reason has not made it
to the kernel tree. Perhaps someone could take a look at this and
hopefully also fix it?
MORE INFORMATION:
I have 'flight sim yoke' and the patch solved the problem for me. Without
the patch I was unable to get the joystick to work in two machines, one
with OHCI and with UHCI chipsets (if it matters, I am not really familiar
with these). I have tried this with 2.4.31 and 2.6.13 kernels.
The patch does not work anymore to 2.4.31 but it was straightforward to
apply manually (1 min?). What it does is to simply skip the call to
usb_set_idle( ) in hid_init_reports( ) for these particular devices
(perhaps they are not fully usb-compatible?).
I only have this 'yoke' (id: 0x068e:0x00ff), not the 'pedals' (id:
0x068:0x0f2), but I have no reason to believe that the pedals for some
reason would work differently. Also, I did not need to patch the joydev.c
so that one is probably related to 'pedals'.
Rgds.,
Esa
