This patch adds ABS_Z to the input_device_id list allowing devices with ABS_Z axis to be detected correctly.quoted
I am curious why you still use joydev and not switch your client(s) to evdev? Or is it some legacy game?Yes, this is about legacy games. For example X-Plane requires joystick node to be present.
Was this patch accepted or rejected? In distros event devices are not readable by non-root users by default while joystick devices are. These can be changed with udev rules, but IMO joystick detection should be fixed on kernel level. -- Ville Ranki [off-list ref] http://www.iki.fi/~cos PGP public key: http://www.iki.fi/~cos/vranki_pub.asc
