Comment 1 for bug 108875

I can confirm this problem with a CH Flightstick USB joystick on Ubuntu 8.04. On the initial connect, the output of "dmesg | grep usb" is:

[ 126.832253] usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

After this initial connect, jstest finds the Flightstick, but does not respond to button presses. After plug cycling, jstest works flawlessly. Full output of "dmesg | grep usb" then reads:

This procedure of unplugging and plugging back in must be repeated every time the computer is rebooted, which is especially inconvenient. Other joysticks I have connected (e.g. "Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad") work correctly on the first try.

Output of "lsusb":
