Bug 98151 – gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 usb gamepad doesn't create /dev/input/js0 put another /dev/input/event?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Marc Geerlings 2005-07-06 12:33:19 UTC]

Since my upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 when I plug in a usb gamepad
/dev/input/js0 isn't created anymore instead another /dev/input/event? is
created. Tried this with two different ps2usb converters both giving a correct
message with  dmesg:

usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7
input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [GreenAsia Inc.    USB Joystick     ] on
usb-0000:00:02.0-2
 
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [0b43:0003] on usb-0000:00:02.1-1

Both functioned correctly with gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r1 and still do on my x86
desktop running gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r1



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. plugin usb joystick

Actual Results:  
dmesg:
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [0b43:0003] on usb-0000:00:02.1-1
ls /dev/input doesn't list a js? device, but another /dev/input/event? is created
cat /dev/input/event? and moving joystick will generate output 


Expected Results:  
A /dev/input/js? device
