I have two Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.7 systems, each running kernel 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64
The same overall packages/configuration are applied to both, and I have installed kmod-joydev from the elrepo repository. On one of the systems(dell t3600 workstation) joysticks detect and work perfectly.
On the other, a Dell m6400 notebook, the same usb devices are detected, but not functional, even at a raw level if I issue a cat /dev/input/js0
It does not output any noise as the device is moved/Buttons pressed
lsusb:
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 068e:00f3 CH Products, Inc. Fighterstick
lsmod | grep joydev:
joydev 10670 0
Other than hardware configuration I have tried to get these two systems to be exactly identical. Unfortunately I'm not much good with peripheral troubleshooting, so I'm not entirely sure what else to check.
I have tried multiple usb ports on the system that is not functional, and have tried other, non-joystick devices on the system and those function properly.
Any thing that might give me a new avenue to explore would be fantastic.
