This is fixed in version 0.1.1~git20180602-2. It would be great if 23.10 could be updated with that but I’m not familiar with the process.

It would be really great if 23.10 could be updated with the fix. I have AMD B650 motherboard and Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, so I must use the latest distro where jstest-gtk is broken.

The RC airplane flight sim built for Linux (see Wing-sim.com) doesn't recognize the joystick FrSky XSR-SIM USB dongle and I can't test joystick.

you can fix it running the next command
sudo jstest-gtk --datadir /usr/share/jstest-gtk/data/
