Bug Description
Binary package hint: jscalibrator
In jscalibrator the ST30 USB-Joystick from Saitek is detected as a "...Wasp..."
See http://
Steering with x and y and Buttons work fine. But the hat and throttle don't work as expected.
The Throttle affects two axes:
When I move throttle upwards from the middle position one axis goes up from 0 to 127
When I move throttle down from the middle position another axis goes down from 0 to -128
The Hat does not move the hat in jscalibrator frontend. depending on the position, the hat is moved to, some multiple axes are set some values...
I can add some screenshots tomorrow.
I would like to help getting this bug resolved. What further information could be useful Output of lsusb?

In order to actually fix this, the most useful information would be the section of /proc/bus/ usb/devices for your joystick, the output of evtest for the affected device (this program is confusingly duplicated in dvb-utils and lineakd and poorly documented: I recommend installing dvb-utils for Ubuntu or Xubuntu and lineakd for Kubuntu), and a screenshot showing the issue.
On the other hand, unless you are playing Search & Rescue, you probably want to use the jscal program to calibrate your joystick, as jscalibrator only affects this single game. Also, please try to confirm your strange axis behaviour with js_demo from the flightgear package (note that there is a bug that requires you to unplug and reattach the joystick after using js_demo and before playing any games). If you can replicate it separately, it might be a problem with the input system, rather than specific to jscalibrator.
