I can confirm this behavior, with the addition that some other devices, such as tablets aren't detected properly either. Furthermore, I have written a fix against hal_0.5.11-4ubuntu3 and tested it with the following peripherals:
On a 32-bit machine: * THRUSTMASTER Firestorm Dual Analog 2 --> input.joystick * Wacom Volito --> input.tablet * SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad --> input.touchpad On a 64-bit machine: * THRUSTMASTER Firestorm Dual Analog 2 --> input.joystick * Wacom Volito --> input.tablet ** Attachment added: "Fix broken input category detection in input_test_abs in hald/linux/device.c" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18782718/hal-input-test-abs.patch ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- [intrepid] HAL installs a number of different joysticks as mice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284129 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
