Sorry Christopher, I thought I had given the bug at least a descriptive title but it seems like it had only gone through as "title".
Also copied the details from the old bug report onto the description for this one, since almost no details have changed except for the version of Ubuntu. Hope this is better. ** Summary changed: - title + Continuation of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/390959 ** Description changed: + Copy of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/390959 for + extra information. As described on there: + + Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard interferes with certain games. + Ubuntu seems to see the keyboard as a joystick control. Package Joystick + Calibrator 1.5.6 confirms by listing Microsoft Digital Media Pro + Keyboard as a joystick device on /dev/input/js0 + + Behaviour includes taking over control of any joystick enabled games and + continuously pushing control to the left or causing a menu selection to + continuously move down or up. Affected games that I know of so far + include Tux racer, Alex the Alligator, Track mania Nations forever + (wine) and Final Fantasy 8 (wine). + + A workaround is to run Joystick Calibrator, click on Calibrate and save + settings. This seems to 'calibrate' the keyboard properly and stops it + from interfering with games. + 12.04 alpha live USB.
