Public bug reported:

I have one of this:

http://www.mayflash.com/pc/pc039/pc039-1.htm

which is a multi-tap ps/ps2 to usb connector that supports up to four
controllers. But on ubuntu 10.10 fully updated it only supports one, or
rather all four controllers signals are received through a single device
(/dev/input/js0). So you can use any of the four, but not all at the
same time.

Looking around and based on this link:

http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-
h...@vger.kernel.org/msg10317.html

I realized that probably reason for this device not to work was because
the HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT quirk is not been applied to it, so i looked
for it's usb product id in the sysfs (vendor=6666, product=8804) which
is also documented in this link:

http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids

and patched the current maverick kernel (2.6.35-28) and now all four
controllers work separately as they should and four joystick devices are
created when connected (/dev/input/js[0-3]) assuming there are four
controllers connected to the connector.

I hope this get fixed so i don't have to patch my kernels anymore :).
Also please advice if i should report this upstream too or if the ubuntu
kernel team will handle that.

Thanks in advance for your hard work.
