Thanks. I've downloaded and installed these packages from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/" linux-image-extra-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_i386.deb linux-image-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_i386.deb
And from "from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/" linux-image-3.6.0-999-generic_3.6.0-999.201208130420_i386.deb linux-image-extra-3.6.0-999-generic_3.6.0-999.201208130420_i386.deb Then rebooted twice; first time in 3.6 and the second time in 2.5.1. Both times it it gave the same results: 0 simultaneous effects, though 'dmesg' gave slightly more output on both instances: [code] [ 96.428015] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd [ 96.605804] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=001b [ 96.605808] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 96.605810] usb 4-1: Product: SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick [ 96.605813] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Microsoft [ 96.635858] input: Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/input/input4 [ 96.670772] hid-generic 0003:045E:001B.0003: device reports 0 simultaneous effects [ 96.735739] hid-generic 0003:045E:001B.0003: pid_block_load failed 60 times [ 96.735742] hid-generic 0003:045E:001B.0003: upload request failed [ 96.735748] hid-generic 0003:045E:001B.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick] on usb-0000:00:1a.1-1/input0 [/code] So it hasn't been fixed yet. What's the next step? Much appreciated. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035723 Title: Joystick (SideWinder FF2) Force Feedback doesn't reset properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1035723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
