Gamepad Problem (Genius Navigator 365)

Hi all,

While ago, i've bought a mouse/gamepad (Genius Navigator 365) that i've been using in some emulators like Snes9x or Mupen64 without problem.
But since a few days (i didn't remember if i updated something, sorry) some buttons of the gamepad dont't work.

When i plugged it, dmesg shows me this:

usb 5-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: KYE SYSTEMS CORP. Navigator 365 Laser as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.0/input/input14
generic-usb 0003:0458:007B.0005: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [KYE SYSTEMS CORP. Navigator 365 Laser] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0

i'm using kernel26 2.6.30.5-1, hal 0.5.12git20090421.4fc367-2 ,  dbus 1.2.14-1 and xorg-server 1.6.3-3

Anyone knows what can be the problem of this? i really miss my gamepad

PD: In Windows, with drivers, it works fine

Hello thesis!

Which driver do you try to use ? xf86-input-joystick, and which module joydev ?
Can you see it in the output of lsusb well? Which buttons can't work ? Did you try to downgrade your kernel ? Is there any relevant in xorg.log? Did you xorg.log change ? How do you get it ? Does it work under livecd or other distribution ?

Hi djszapi

I'm using joydev.

lsusb gets me this:

Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 1c4f:0002 SiGma Micro
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0458:007b KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b008 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd USB 2.0 Camera
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The buttons that doesn't work are 0.1.2.4 and 5.

It works fine with another distribution (i think that was DSL... i test it on a friend's pc)

I will try downgrading the kernel.

Well... nothing happens downgrading the kernel...

EDIT: I feel sorry... I was testing the gamepad yesterday and in fact it's a hardware problem.. I supposed my friend only test the directionals buttons... well... i supposed i have to use it only as a mouse. I will try to fix it manually if i can.

Thanks you.
