I have a Saitek P2000 and Saitek X45 (USB gamepad and USB Jostick/Trottle).
They both show up as HID devices, and (at least initially) reposnd to the
system.

Problem is, they don't work in FlightGear (or, really in any game).

Why?

I'm running a standard SuSE 9.1 install.

Note: when I do cat/dev/input/js0 or /dev/input/js1, I get a couple of
characters, then the output freezes. I don't have to press anything to ge
tthe first bunch of chars up, but after a few lines, I get nowt.

Any ideas?
