Unfortunately, when it attaches as ugen, it fails to work with xmess / xmame (and presumably zsnes, though that crashes right now due to nVidia driver issues), and those three programs are the primary reasons for why I have this joypad in the first place. Having the driver detect it is great, but it isn't too useful if it can't communicate with programs that try to access it. What happens if you boot a kernel from March 20th, 2004 with uhid but without ugen? Have you tested the March 20th, 2004 / ugen0 kernel to see if any programs can read input from the device? It's worked fine for me with uhid, but xmame doesn't detect any devices if it attaches as ugen. -- I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly.
