SubjectSaitek X45 Joystick broken in kernelversions > 2.6.5-rc1 (hid-core.c)
From
Date
The stick gets Initialized properly, as dmesg shows. But then when
running an application like for instance "js_demo" the stick does not
respond to axial or button input, several of the axes are locked solid
in weird (-1) positions. (Calibrating does not fix this, nor does the
stick need to be manually calibrated normally)

The problem seems to be in a change of usb/input/hid-core.c that
appeared in 2.6.5-rc2. When I use rc1's hid-core.c with some minor
editing to force it to build with the rest of the rc2 kernel, the
joystick works. I've tested every release kernel since and none of those
worked.

Another two X45 users confirmed a non working stick in atleast 2.6.7,
and there's also a Saitek P750 joypaduser that might be suffering the
same problem.

my stick's serial number:
SZ00169829
